Application Process

Thank you for your interest in the Fuller Foundation. Beginning in January 2026, the Trustees of the Foundation will undertake a strategic planning process to ensure the Fuller Foundation remains a vital, effective, and engaged philanthropic partner in New England for decades to come.

As part of this process, the Foundation will focus its limited resources on projects most closely aligned with its core mission and values. To support this important work, the Foundation will pause its open application process during the 2026 calendar year. Grant applications will be accepted by Trustee invitation only during this time.

We recognize that this change may impact organizations that have come to rely on the Foundation’s support. The Trustees are deeply grateful for the strong relationships built over the years with nonprofit partners throughout Greater Boston and Seacoast New Hampshire. These partnerships are a source of great pride and inspiration, and we are committed to honoring those connections throughout this period of reflection and refinement.

We understand that changes in funding access can create uncertainty. Our hope is that this process will position the Foundation to be an even stronger, more focused partner moving forward. We anticipate sharing updates about future funding opportunities and revised guidelines once the strategic planning process concludes, and will post relevant updates here as they become available.
