Overview
The Ramsey McCluskey Family Foundation is a small private foundation started in
1999 and dedicated to the support of projects in education and the arts.
The Foundation awards approximately ten Single Year Grants annually totaling approximately $75,000. Grants
may range from $2,000 to $10,000. Beginning in 2010, the Foundation also awards three Trilogy Grants each year. These grants are three-year grants of $7500 per year. Grants are generally given for specific
projects or programs that can show measurable results. Grants are usually
NOT given for general operating expenses, endowments, or building funds.
Areas of Interest
The Foundation has two areas of interest that often coincide.
1. Education: The Foundation will consider
proposals for projects in any aspect of education -- elementary through adult.
Of special interest, however, are proposals that are targeted at helping individuals
succeed in school and proposals that focus on incorporating the arts in education.
We are committed to helping children and adults become excited and engaged in learning,
whether it is in the school environment, after-school, or in other settings.
2. The Arts: The Foundation will
consider proposals for projects in any area of the arts. Of special interest
are those proposals that make the arts more accessible to a wide audience.
Geographic Criteria
The Foundation is local in scope and generally limits it grantmaking to the northern
New England area. (Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine)
