The Brooks Grace E Trust concentrates on providing unrestricted operating support to organizations working in substance use recovery and behavioral health, with a clear tilt toward Massachusetts-based providers. Most grants are sizable, multi-thousand-dollar awards given to a small set of organizations, indicating relationship-driven, targeted philanthropy rather than broad, one-off giving.
Concentrated giving: a small number of relatively large, unrestricted grants with repeat awards to the same grantees, suggesting sustained partner relationships rather than many small or geographically dispersed gifts.
Brooks Grace E Trust gives unrestricted operating support to a small set of organizations working in substance use recovery, behavioral health, and related human services, with Massachusetts recipients appearing most often. The largest recent grant in the file is $35,000 to Gosnold Inc in Falmouth, followed by $25,000 awards to Rize Massachusetts Foundation in Boston in both 2023 and 2024. That pattern points to a funder that backs ongoing organizational capacity rather than one-time project costs. The grant list also shows repeat support for Emh Recovery Inc in Brockton, which received $20,000 in 2024, $20,000 in 2025, and $15,000 in 2023. Other recent awards include Brockton Day Nursery Inc, The Ellie Fund, Norwell Visiting Nurse Assoc Inc, and Caritas Communities Inc, usually at $15,000 or $10,000 levels. The trust also made a scholarship grant to the City of Brockton in 2023. Across the record, the emphasis stays on general support for organizations serving recovery, behavioral health, and community needs.
Substance use recovery is a central theme. The trust gave $35,000 to Gosnold Inc for unrestricted general support and awarded $25,000 to Rize Massachusetts Foundation in both 2023 and 2024, suggesting sustained backing for recovery-related nonprofits. Behavioral health and residential or peer-support services also appear in the record. Emh Recovery Inc in Brockton received $20,000 in 2024 and 2025, plus $15,000 in 2023, all marked unrestricted general support. The grant list extends into related community services. Brockton Day Nursery Inc received $15,000 in 2024 and $10,000 in 2023, while The Ellie Fund received $15,000 in 2024 and $10,000 in 2025. The trust also supported Health Law Advocates Inc with $10,000 in 2025 and Project Bread with $10,000 in 2025.
Typical awards cluster tightly around $10,000: the p25, median, and p75 are $10,000, $10,000, and $15,000. That narrow range, combined with a few larger awards, suggests a small portfolio with relationship-based grants rather than many varying commitments. The record also shows repeat support across multiple years for several recipients, including Emh Recovery Inc, Rize Massachusetts Foundation, Brockton Day Nursery Inc, The Ellie Fund, and Habitat for Humanity International. The trust is an operating-support funder, and it also funds individuals, including a scholarship grant in the recent record.
