A small private foundation supporting primarily Massachusetts
nonprofit and educational organizations.
nonprofit and educational organizations.
The CDQ is a small, private foundation that provides funding within Massachusetts and occasionally to organizations in nearby states known by trustee(s). We do not support organizations headquartered outside of the US.A. Regrettably, CDQ, by law, cannot make grants to individuals nor organizations that are not IRS certified non-profits (501c3).
We have recently revised our mission in order to narrow and clarify the values the CDQ seeks to support. Our mission, originally based on Buddhist values, focuses on 3 areas:
➡️PEACE, as in personal/interpersonal/cross cultural awareness/harmony/understanding and improvement, emotional intelligence, positivity, compassion.
➡️ENVIRONMENTAl concerns including fostering human/natural-world harmony, addressing environmental threats, protection, climate change, etc.
➡️EDUCATION in areas of the above, such as fostering interpersonal, cross-cultural or environmental understanding, sustainability, protection, awareness, strategies, relevant skills, and mental/social health.
The CDQ is especially interested in projects with an environmental focus at this time. If you have a project to help protect/sustain the natural environmental, or educate about environmental issues, and you are located in or around Massachusetts, please let us know! Please note that CDQ is not an arts-focused organization; the above three areas must be the primary area of organizations or projects proposed.
Always send a query first; never try to send an application or request until you hear back from the CDQ. Unsolicited applications are usually discarded unopened.
Please explore this website for more information about this foundation and about grant writing in general! (There are 2 pages under the More tab above!)
