As part of our ongoing mission to foster grassroots growth throughout New England, NEGEF is developing a variety of web tools to better share news, events and resources. In addition, we're putting our grant program online, making it possible for groups to apply for grants and manage those applications on this site.

As a non-profit, we are especially budget conscious. In our desire to create an advanced platform within our limited budget, we have made the tough decision to only support up-to-date browsers.

You can download a Word file with NEGEF's application questions if you would like to apply for a grant.

Thanks for your understanding.

BGI UPDATE for 2012

The Boston Grants Initiative (BGI) will be folded into a New England wide grant structure that NEGEF is developing for 2012 that will include a small grant program with an accelerated decision making process (Seed grants) and a mid sized grant program with two application deadlines annually (Grow grants).
