Details:
The Gardiner Howland Shaw Foundation was established in 1959. Because the foundation has limited funds, the Shaw Trustees are interested in funding initiatives that demonstrate a current awareness of important problems confronting their criminal and juvenile justice systems.
Therefore, to assist prospective applicants in preparing requests for funding, they provide the following priorities for funding:
- Research, analysis, and journalism, that examine important criminal and juvenile justice issues and offer ways to improve the administration of justice in Massachusetts.
- Initiatives that demonstrate innovative approaches to the reintegration of adult and juvenile offenders leaving correctional and detention facilities.
- Programs that demonstrate effective inter-agency and community collaboration models for crime prevention.
- Initiatives that address the legal, social and rehabilitative needs of juvenile and adult offenders through advocacy, public education and training.
Types of Support
The following types of grants and support are provided by the foundation:
- Start-up Funds
- For new and innovative projects in the field of criminal and juvenile justice that are related to the foundation’s stated purpose and current priorities. Grants in this area are generally limited to three successive years. Requests for support beyond three years will be reviewed on a case by case basis and must demonstrate a compelling need for continued involvement by the foundation.
- Project Support
- For projects that have demonstrated success in addressing important criminal and juvenile justice problems and offer the potential for local or national replication. Grants in this category will generally be reviewed on a year to year basis to determine the value and impact of on-going foundation support.
- General Operating Support
- Grants in this category will be limited to organizations that have a demonstrated record of accomplishment in promoting advances and improvements in our criminal and juvenile justice system.
