GRANTMAKING

Children eating lunch at a table with food including spaghetti, apple, green beans, bread, and milk.

Since 1984, the Amelia Peabody Foundation has awarded more than $260 million to Massachusetts nonprofits. Building on a longstanding commitment to young people in under-resourced communities, we work to ensure every child has the opportunity to thrive. Families flourish when they have equitable access to high-quality education and out-of-school programs, a healthy and inclusive food system, pathways to economic mobility, and safe, stable housing.
