Guidelines
Guidelines
The foundation normally meets twice a year, in the fall and spring and will consider requests for capital programs, special projects or operating income. It is our policy to support charitable organizations that are well known to the trustees, with emphasis on hospitals, medical research, education, youth agencies, cultural activities, and programs addressing the needs of minorities.
No grants are made outside the United States, or to individuals. The foundation confines its grants primarily to the New England area. Organizations funded by the Edwin S. Webster Foundation must be tax exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and not a private foundation within the meaning of section 509(a) of the Code.
Although the foundation can only support a very small portion of the number of organizations that apply, we wish all applicants success in their endeavors.
