Mabel F. Hoffman Charitable Trust Fund

The Mabel F. Hoffman Charitable Trust, established in 1969, is administered by the Connecticut office of Bank of America's Philanthropic Solutions division. The Trust was created to support and enhance high-quality programming in the fields of education, human services, and health care, specifically targeting underserved populations. The foundation gives particular priority to nonprofit organizations serving Hartford, Connecticut, and its surrounding communities. The grant aims to bolster efforts that directly improve educational outcomes, deliver essential health services, or enhance human service initiatives in areas of high need. While it supports a broad range of nonprofit initiatives within its specified focus areas, capital project proposals are not eligible for funding. Grants are awarded for a single year and recipients may not receive funding for more than three consecutive years. The grant cycle for the Mabel F. Hoffman Charitable Trust includes a submission deadline of June 23. Applicants will be notified of their award status by letter within two to three months following the submission deadline. The Trust typically awards around twelve modest-sized grants each year. Applications must be submitted through an online platform, and guidance documents are available in both PDF and Microsoft Word formats to assist applicants. Detailed procedures for submitting an application, as well as tips and support for navigating the application portal, are accessible through linked resources. Interested applicants may contact the grant administrator via email at [email protected], making sure to include the foundation's name in the subject line. Additional procedural and contact information can be found in the application documents provided on the Bank of America Philanthropic Solutions website. This funding opportunity is best suited for nonprofits focused on educational, human services, and health programs within Hartford and neighboring towns in Connecticut. It does not accept proposals for capital expenses and maintains specific limitations on consecutive funding periods.
