- develop service capacity that can be sustained in the future because it will attract other funding and/or generate revenue;
- promote cooperation and resource sharing among community organizations;
- improve the financial stability and managerial capacity of established organizations;
- help service agencies in Manchester and Amherst prepare for the future and help them effectively meet emerging community needs;

Eligibility Criteria
Grants are only available for nonprofit organizations that serve Manchester and Amherst. Grant support is primarily allocated to Manchester and Amherst 501(C)3 organizations. Grants are made to statewide or regional organizations only when the grant will have a significant, quantifiable impact directly on Manchester or Amherst. Grant recommendations are mindful of community boundaries and do not extend geographically to surrounding towns. Generally, due to their population sizes and community needs, grant allocations seek to target 90% of funding to Manchester and 10% to Amherst, although this may vary somewhat depending upon needs.
