Giving Back to the Community
The Makepeace Neighborhood Fund was established as a way for the A.D. Makepeace Company to provide significant support to community groups providing services to residents of the towns in which we own property. In the past seven years, the company has awarded more than $1 million in grants.
Grants are available on a competitive basis to non-profit organizations and governmental agencies which provide services to residents of Wareham, Plymouth, Carver, and Rochester. Grants typically range from $5,000 to $10,000 and must be in one of the following disciplines: agriculture, education, health care, community housing, historic preservation, or environmental protection.
Grants are not available to individuals.
