The Ogden Codman Trust provides grants to support activities benefiting the residents of Lincoln, Massachusetts. Funded initiatives include providing food, shelter, medical, and educational assistance, supporting cultural and recreational activities, and contributing to civic organizations serving the town. Eligible applicants are strongly encouraged to contact Susan Monahan before applying to discuss their projects. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, and organizations are often required to secure matching funds.

Grants are aimed at supplementing rather than replacing municipal services, and preference is given to projects that enhance public awareness and community support. Required application materials include a federal tax determination letter, recent Form 990, and a CPA-signed financial statement. Grant recipients must submit a report after the grant period.
