David N. Lane Trust for Aged & Indigent Women

The David N. Lane Trust for Aged & Indigent Women is a philanthropic initiative managed by Bank of America Private Bank’s Connecticut office. Established in 1964, the trust focuses on supporting and promoting quality health care and human services for underserved senior women residing in specific regions of Connecticut. Its mission is grounded in addressing the needs of aged and indigent women, with an emphasis on improving their quality of life through community-based services and support. The primary objective of this grant is to benefit older women in Fairfield and New Haven Counties. Eligible applicants must be organizations that directly serve senior women in these counties. The trust does not consider grant requests for capital projects, and all awards are given for a one-year duration, indicating a preference for programmatic or operational funding rather than infrastructure investments. Applications are due by June 15 each year. Decisions are communicated to applicants within two to three months following the deadline. Interested organizations can access the application and procedural documents through the Bank of America website, including resources in both PDF and Microsoft Word formats. The online portal also provides a feature to return to applications in progress and includes a help guide for online submissions. For assistance with the application process or questions regarding the foundation, applicants are advised to contact Bank of America’s Connecticut grantmaking office via email at [email protected]. It is important to reference the foundation’s name in the subject line when reaching out. More comprehensive contact details are included within the procedural documents available online. The trust is part of the Institutional Investments & Philanthropic Solutions division of Bank of America Private Bank. This division provides fiduciary and banking services via wholly-owned affiliates, supporting various philanthropic efforts through structured financial management.
