Ideal Applicant
Small local nonprofits, Wakefield-area schools or youth sports groups, and individual applicants for the foundation's scholarship/fellowship programs that can demonstrate a clear local connection or program fit.
Good Fit
- • Organization or applicant is based in Wakefield or elsewhere in Massachusetts.
- • Request is for a scholarship, fellowship, small program grant, or support tied to the Fly High tournament/community events.
- • A clear, short-term, project-based ask (typical grant sizes are a few hundred to several thousand dollars).
- • Demonstrable local relationships or nominations from community stakeholders.
Geography
In the latest year all grants were made to recipients located in Massachusetts, and the foundation’s giving is primarily in-state across the observed years.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows six distinct recipients including local charities, a public high school, and individual fellowship awardees, indicating a moderate diversity of recipient types despite financial concentration among a few beneficiaries.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of new recipients exists (four new recipients in 2024) and the website posts fellowship application details, but the foundation also declares it awards only preselected grants, so entry appears possible for some program tracks but is selective rather than broadly open.
