The George I Alden Trust is a non-profit organization based in Worcester, MA that provides support to independent colleges and universities, vocational and independent secondary schools in the Worcester area, and educationally-related organizations in Worcester and YMCAs located in Massachusetts. They primarily focus on funding capital projects that enhance the quality of undergraduate academic offerings, including the construction or upgrade of classrooms, libraries, laboratories, auditoriums, and academic buildings, as well as the purchase of equipment and furnishings.
The Trust does not support individuals and only accepts applications from tax-exempt, non-profit organizations. While they do occasionally make challenge grants, multi-year grants are not the norm. The Trust looks for grant proposals that align with their interests, demonstrate responsible leadership and management, have an effective implementation plan, show positive institutional performance, and benefit a larger number of students or users. Site visits to recipient institutions are conducted periodically, and representatives from applicant institutions can visit the Trust to refine their proposals.
