The Agnes M. Lindsay Trust Grants

The Agnes M. Lindsay Trust, established in 1939, has been providing financial support to nonprofit organizations for over 81 years, focusing on aiding those in need across multiple service areas. The Trust's giving priorities include Health and Welfare, Dental and Oral Health, Recreational Camperships, Education, Food Pantries, and Homeless Shelters. Their geographic focus covers the states of Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont. In Health and Welfare, the Trust supports capital and operating projects assisting populations with special needs, including the blind, deaf, learning disabled, elderly, and youth and family service organizations specializing in mental health, employment training, and domestic violence support. In Dental Health, grants expand to nonprofits offering free dental services to low-income individuals, including children and the elderly, through both capital and program support. Camperships offer children who otherwise could not afford it the opportunity to attend summer camps and enrichment programs. Additionally, the Trust addresses homelessness through grants to shelters affected by socioeconomic challenges such as unemployment and behavioral disorders. It also combats food insecurity by providing grants to food banks and food pantries to address increased demand due to economic conditions. In the field of education, the Trust awards scholarship support to students from rural areas, but grants are given directly to selected community colleges and four-year institutions, not to individuals, and unsolicited applications from these institutions are currently not accepted. The Trust does not provide grants directly to individuals; all applicants must be 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations. Since 1989, the Trust has awarded over $41 million to 8,698 recipients.
