The Massachusetts Catalogue for Philanthropy was the first of its kind – conceived in November 1996, as a project of the Ellis L. Phillips Foundation. From the outset, it was designed to be the nucleus of interrelated and mutually reinforcing elements, engaging all constituencies of philanthropy in a comprehensive, institutionalized system for promoting philanthropy itself. This project includes the Generosity Index, a website, statewide systems for Venture Philanthropy, Special Projects, and Capital Campaigns for Small Charities; state Giving Days following Thanksgiving; and various stylistic and substantive elements. The catalog engages charities, grant makers, community foundations, fundraisers, donors, the media, scholars, and financial and philanthropic advisors.
Publication in the annual Catalogue for Philanthropy that is distributed to 80,000 households and small private or family foundations in Massachusetts, marketing and communication, and listing on the website, which is promoted to the general public locally and nationwide, and features every charity ever listed by the Catalogue.
Applications are due April 4, 2008 and eligible applicants are tax-exempt, not-for-profit organizations with 501 (c) 3 status in Massachusetts with budgets up to $3 million.
