The Hamilton Company Charitable Foundation

The Hamilton Company Charitable Foundation funds a wide variety of charities, including those that engage in medical and scientific research and deliver medical services and those that provide educational, artistic/musical, and recreational activities for underserved youths. The Foundation also finances scholarships for qualified applicants, aid to those experiencing homelessness, capital renovations or new construction, and animal hospitals and shelters. 

Past and current charities supported include but are not limited to the West End House, Franciscan Children’s Hospital, the Coolidge Corner Theatre Foundation, and the Benjamin Franklin Cummings Institute of Technology. Areas of focus include Allston, Brookline, Brighton, and Greater Boston, with preference given to deserving 501(c) (3)s that serve neighborhoods where the Hamilton Company does business. We only fund organizations in Massachusetts.

Efficient use of administrative costs relative to benefits received by individuals is thoughtfully considered, and we fund specific projects, not operational costs. Organizations must be in operation for at least five contiguous years to be eligible for a grant.

As of January 1, 2024, the Hamilton Company Charitable Foundation’s annual funding is $4 million per year. There is one application for requests over $1000.  A very brief summary application is required for requests up to $1,000.   Deadlines for 2024 grant applications are January 15, April 15, July 15, October 15 and December 15.  Applicants may apply for one grant per year.
