Beginning in 2021, Fairlawn Foundation will award two different types of grants.

Demonstration Project Grants: A demonstration project is a means of promoting innovations and capturing and disseminating best practices through the delivery and analysis of a pilot project. Fairlawn Foundation will award up to three demonstration project grants of $150,000 paid out over two years.
The first payment of $75,000 will be issued to selected grantees soon after grant award notification.
Issuance of the second payment of $75,000 will be dependent on the outcome of a progress report and subsequent meeting with Fairlawn Trustees to be held nine months after initial grant notification.
Planning Grants: A planning grant results in a plan of action for bringing innovation to the field through the development of a meaningful project. Fairlawn Foundation will award up to three planning grants of $25,000 with a project duration of no longer than nine months.
Payment of $25,000 will be issued to selected grantees soon after grant award notification.
Grantees will be expected to submit a written project report and meet with Fairlawn Trustees to discuss their project nine months after grant notification. Being awarded a planning grant in no way guarantees being awarded a demonstration project grant in a subsequent year.
Eligibility Criteria

Applicants must be tax-exempt, nonprofit organizations as recognized by IRS code 501(c)(3) serving the Greater Worcester area, with priority given to organizations headquartered in Worcester County.
