The Jessie B. Cox Trust

The Family Grants Committee of the Jessie B. Cox Charitable Trust Fund is pleased to announce the publication of a revised set of guidelines for applicants. 

In keeping with prior interests, the Trust will continue to make grants in the six New England states in the fields of education, environment and health.  Within these areas, the focus has narrowed:

• Education: early learning, out-of-school time
• Environment: habitat conservation, concentrating on fresh and marine water protection
• Health: access to health care

The Fund has also moved from a quarterly to a semiannual meeting cycle.  Deadlines for submission of concept papers are March 15 and September 15.  The next application deadline is March 15, 2010. Guidelines for applicants may be found here. 

In an effort to be as clear as possible about our new guidelines and to open up communications with potential grantees, we invite you to send us your questions to the attention of Kirstie David, Program Manager, at kdavid @ gmafoundations.com. Each question will receive an individualized response, and frequently asked questions will be posted on our web site.
