The Crescent Porter Hale Foundation’s strategic focus has shifted over the past few years to invest more substantially in middle school youth programs and food security for seniors. For the foreseeable future, all grantmaking under the Middle School Youth Success program area will occur through a request for proposal process. For Safety Net, all funds have been allocated until mid-2023 via our multi-year grantmaking initiative focused on bolstering the food supply for older adults through food banks, food rescue agencies, and Meals on Wheels programs.

If your organization is invited to submit a proposal, you will receive detailed instructions for using our grants portal via email. Please feel welcome to reach out to our team if you have any questions.

Please review your organization’s grant acknowledgment letter for the report deadline. We recommend drafting your responses using Microsoft Word or Google Docs rather than in the online forms, particularly if you are working with several people to complete the application. Then, copy and paste your consolidated answers into the online forms. If you need to reset your password or to add a new staff member to the grants portal, please contact:
