MEDFIELD FOUNDATION LEGACY FUND NOW ACCEPTING

NON-PROFIT GRANT APPLICATIONS


The Medfield Foundation Legacy Fund has announced that applications are now being accepted for its 2026 Community Impact Grants.  Up to $40,000 in grants will be awarded, and any Medfield-based nonprofit or Town department is eligible.  Applicants are welcome to submit a grant request online at https://www.medfieldfoundation.org/ by March 15, 2026.

The Medfield Foundation Legacy Fund Community Board will review all submissions and select the finalists who will be invited to PITCH IT!, a Shark Tank-type event to be held in person on April 16, 2026.  At PITCH IT!, applicants will present their proposal, goals, and financial needs and directly engage with the Community Board on their projects.  The Community Board will make its final selection of grant recipients for the 2026 funding round in late April, 2026. 

This year marks the sixth round of Legacy Fund Community Impact grants.  To date, over $136,000 has been awarded to thirteen organizations, including the Cultural Alliance of Medfield, the Friends of the MHS Theatre Society, the Friends of the Medfield Rail Trail, Medfield Cares About Prevention, Medfield Outreach, The Peak House Heritage Center, Zullo Gallery and Sustainable Medfield. 

Grantees have used their awards to further important projects in Medfield and, in some cases, to leverage significant additional resources such as matching grants or federal or state funding.  This year’s applicants should be prepared to illustrate a strong and compelling current need for funds, and possibly present how those funds may generate additional investments in the Medfield community as well. 

Act fast to take advantage of this spectacular opportunity!

MFi YL Grants Open to End of April

Posted on April 17, 2025 | Comments Off on MFi YL Grants Open to End of April

MFi Youth Leadership Program Now Accepting Grant Applications


The Medfield Foundation Youth Leadership Program is now accepting applications for its 2025 Grant Program. Up to $1,000 in funding will be awarded, which may be awarded in full or divided among multiple recipients. Applicants are welcome to learn more about the grant process and to submit a grant request at https://forms.gle/y9Yy9svXdJAFdsEw7 by April 30th.

Just as the Medfield Foundation has its Legacy Fund endowment and its Pitch It! Grant Program, the MFi youth leaders team raised $1,000 in the fall of 2024 to award in its own process. The Youth Leadership Grant Program is our call for any and all ideas that will enrich the lives of those who call Medfield home. The youth leaders will review the applications, ask questions, interview the applicants, conduct site visits, and make final presentations to their youth leader teammates before voting on and selecting the winner(s). Funding decisions will be communicated to winners by May 30th.

Founded in 2014 by the Medfield Foundation Inc. (MFi), the MFi Youth Leadership program empowers high school students with a sense of philanthropy and volunteerism to take action in their community. From an early age, the town’s youngest residents have opportunities to make a difference in their community. Those opportunities continue to grow as children come of age in our town. The Medfield Foundation is responsible for many local fundraising initiatives. As part of its commitment to community involvement, MFi created this program where high school students could take that philanthropic spirit, run with it and gain leadership experience in the process. Our youth leaders support one of the Medfield Foundation’s largest signature events, The MFi Angel Run, in the fall. It provides a perfect opportunity to get involved and gain a deeper understanding of what it takes to plan and manage a fundraising event. Then the winter/spring programming focuses on the grant process, including how to solicit proposals and how to review and award grants.
