Giving Back to the Community
The Makepeace Neighborhood Fund was established in 2004 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 three years, the company has awarded some $843,000 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, Middleborough and Rochester. Grants are limited to $5,000 to $10,000 and must be in one of the following disciplines: education, health care, community housing, historic preservation, or environmental protection.
Grants are not available to individuals.
