Trustees' Philanthropy Fund

In addition to making donor-recommended grants, the Board of Trustees administers its own philanthropic fund. The Trustees' Philanthropy Fund was created by the founders of the Fidelity Charitable Gift Fund to support nonprofit development efforts, with a focus on capacity-building.

Since its inception, the Trustees' Philanthropy Fund has awarded over $7.2 million to U.S. nonprofit organizations.1 Please note that the Trustees are not able to accept requests for grants.
