The Sudbury Foundation works to transform lives and strengthen communities through our grant making programs in Sudbury, MA and surrounding communities.

Grant Programs

Sudbury Program

The Sudbury Program is designed to enhance the quality of community life in Sudbury. The program is open to Sudbury’s public and nonprofit institutions, and to organizations located outside of Sudbury for projects that substantially benefit Sudbury residents.

Children, Youth & Families

Established in 2012, the program is designed to help young people realize their full potential and become caring, productive citizens. The focus is on underserved youth in the Foundation’s catchment area who face economic and/or personal barriers to success. 

Farm & Local Food

Since the late 1990s, our environmental efforts have supported organizations working to balance natural resource protection with community economic sustainability. Since 2016, the focus has been on sustainable agriculture and the local food system in Massachusetts.

Community

The Community Program aims to provide essential resources to local organizations and initiatives that are working tirelessly to address critical needs, promote equity, and foster a sense of belonging.

Justice, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion

The Justice, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion (JEDI) Program is designed to advance equity and inclusion work in our communities.
