The Frank B. Hazard General Charity Fund, established in 1924, focuses on supporting nonprofit organizations that provide essential services to low-income populations in Providence, Rhode Island.

Grants are typically awarded for a duration of one year, aligning with the fund's philanthropic mission.
Introduction
Bank of America, N.A. serves as trustee, co-trustee, or agent to numerous private foundations. The Connecticut-based Philanthropic Solutions office manages many of these discretionary foundations which support nonprofit organizations serving vital community needs. The majority of these foundations were created and structured by donors to provide focused grantmaking based on a specific program and/or geographic area.
Working with internal or external distribution committees, co-trustees, family members, or external advisors, we carefully evaluate grant proposals to ensure that meaningful grants are awarded in accordance with the philanthropic mission of each foundation. We have prepared these grantmaking guidelines as a general overview to help the nonprofit community better understand the grantmaking goals and process for Connecticut-based foundations.
The Frank B. Hazard General Charity Fund was established in 1924 to support charitable organizations that provide basic needs to low income populations. The Hazard General Charity Fund specifically supports charitable organizations that serve the people of Providence, Rhode Island. Organizations must be “under the management of persons who, or most of whom, are of the Protestant religious faith.”
