About Agnes M Lindsay Trust
Agnes M Lindsay Trust’s grantmaking centers on basic needs and support for children, students, and households facing hardship, with recurring support for food pantries, homeless shelters, health and welfare services, dental care, and camperships. The trust’s program design is practical: it makes capital and operating grants, funds institutions for scholarship support, and also awards camp scholarships through nonprofit organizations and camps. Recent grants show that pattern in action. In 2024, My Brother's Keeper Inc. in Easton, Massachusetts received $7,500 for food pantry and food bank work, while Manna Soup Kitchen Inc. in Northampton, Massachusetts received $6,700 for the same purpose. Other awards supported shelters, oral health, and youth enrichment across the region. The trust also has a clear emphasis on serving people with special needs and low-income communities. Its health and welfare giving includes services for the blind, deaf, learning disabled, and elderly, along with youth and family services such as mental health, employment training, and domestic violence shelters. Education support is directed to needy students, often from rural communities, through colleges and universities rather than individual applicants. Campership support extends summer and enrichment opportunities to children who would otherwise be unable to attend.
What Agnes M Lindsay Trust Funds
Food security is a visible part of Agnes M Lindsay Trust’s recent work. The trust gave $5,000 to South Shore Community Action Council in Plymouth, Massachusetts for food pantry and food bank support, and $5,000 to Waterville Area Soup Kitchen in Waterville, Maine for similar work. Those grants fit its broader support for food banks, food pantries, and soup kitchens. Homeless shelter operations are another recurring area. In 2023, Good Samaritan Haven in Barre, Vermont received $5,000, and Nashua Soup Kitchen & Shelter in Nashua, New Hampshire also received $5,000 for shelter-related work. The trust’s shelter grants are paired with capital and operating support. Its health and welfare giving includes services for specific populations. Friendship Works in Boston, Massachusetts received $5,000 in 2024, and Prevent Child Abuse in Montpelier, Vermont received $5,000 the same year. The trust also funds dental care, including free clinics and dental equipment, and education grants for institutions that award scholarships to needy students.
