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)
