The Mabel A. Horne Fund, established in 1957, provides grants to support educational, human services, and health care programming for underserved populations in Massachusetts. The fund encourages proposals for general operating or program-specific support, with the option to include small, program-related capital expenses within these requests.

Applications are due annually by January 15, and applicants will be notified of funding decisions before May 31. Most grants are awarded for a one-year duration, though multi-year funding may be considered in certain cases.

The fund prioritizes projects that address critical community needs and promote quality programming for underserved individuals. This includes initiatives that improve access to education, health care, or essential human services.

This funding opportunity is ideal for organizations seeking to enhance their operational capacity or implement impactful programs within Massachusetts. Interested applicants should prepare proposals that align with the fund’s mission and submit by the stated deadline.
