An Act establishing the Community Non-Profit Investment and Grant Program
This bill creates the Community Non-Profit Investment and Grant Program to provide financial support to local non-profit organizations working for public benefit. A new board, supervised by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, will be formed to design the program, set selection rules, and manage the distribution of funds. Eligible organizations must be legally recognized non-profits operating within the state that engage in charitable community work. The board is required to launch the program within 180 days of the law's passage, ensuring a structured process for soliciting applications and awarding grants.
