Mission & Purpose: The Agnes M. Lindsay Trust was established to support charitable organizations, guided by the founder's interests in the education of poor and deserving students, the relief of suffering, and child welfare.
Broad Funding Guidelines: The Trust provides grants to 501(c)(3) organizations in Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont. Their priority areas are Health & Welfare, Dental Health, Food Banks/Pantries, Homeless Shelters, and Camperships (scholarships for summer camp). They generally do not fund individuals, municipalities, museums, or libraries. The grant range is typically between $1,000 and $7,500.
Featured Opportunity: The foundation has two main grant cycles. The featured opportunity is their Camperships program, which has a specific annual deadline (typically May 10) for organizations seeking scholarships to send children to summer camp.

Mission & Purpose: The Victoria Foundation's mission is to partner with Black and Brown residents and other marginalized communities in Newark, New Jersey, to champion bold strategies that strengthen community power, foster economic justice, and promote youth self-determination.
Broad Funding Guidelines: The foundation's grantmaking is hyper-focused on the city of Newark, NJ. They have adopted a trust-based philanthropic model, prioritizing multi-year, general operating support for organizations led by and serving communities of color. Their funding areas are: Strengthening Community Power, Fostering Economic Justice, and Promoting Youth Self-Determination.
Featured Opportunity: The Victoria Foundation is a proactive, "by invitation only" grantmaker and does not accept unsolicited proposals. Their "featured opportunity" is their strategic framework and their long-term partnerships, rather than an open grant cycle.
