McNeice Foundation Grant

The McNeice Foundation Grant, established by John A. McNeice, Jr., focuses on supporting the Roman Catholic Church and related charitable organizations in Massachusetts. It prioritizes immediate use of funds for educational and medical purposes, emphasizing the development of young people and assistance for the needy. Organizations should demonstrate efficient use of resources with low administrative costs. Awards are rarely granted outside Massachusetts, ensuring local impact and support.

John A. McNeice, Jr., the Grantor of the Foundation, offered the following guidance to the trustees of the Foundation, for determining whether to approve a distribution: " ... distributions primarily to the Roman Catholic Church and Church related charitable, educational, and medical organizations ... more specifically, to support and promote (1) the Catholic faith and mission of the Catholic Church; (2) the education, training, and development, both spiritual and intellectual, of young people; (3) those who are unable to support themselves."
