Overview
Fact (page-stated): The Clipper Ship Foundation (Milton, MA) funds 501(c)(3)s serving Greater Boston / Lawrence / Brockton in three focus areas: foster care, opportunity youth, and housing & shelter. Fact: single annual cycle (2025/26: concept paper opened Oct 31 2025, concept paper deadline Jan 3 2026, decisions June 2026). Fact/caveat: the page states 'Only Invited Applications will be considered in this year's funding process,' though it also describes an open register-and-eligibility-quiz concept-paper intake — actionability may be invitation-gated. Excludes higher ed, hospitals, research, scholarships. Applicant-facing grant to nonprofits (invitation caveat noted).
