The Jessie B. Cox Trust

NOTICE: The Jessie B. Cox Trust has moved to an on-line application process.  It will no longer accept hard copy versions of concept letters or proposals.  Please refer to “How to Apply” for details.

The Jessie B. Cox Trust makes 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 a semiannual meeting cycle.  Deadlines for submission of concept papers are March 15 and September 15.  The next application deadline is September 15, 2010. Guidelines for applicants may be found here. 

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