The Charles H Cross Charitable Foundation concentrates its modest annual giving on direct-service human services in Massachusetts, especially smaller local nonprofits that serve children, youth and vulnerable families. Grants cluster around youth development and girl-focused programs, family support for children with disabilities, and domestic violence survivor services, with several organizations receiving repeat awards.
Small-to-mid-size grants concentrated among a handful of repeat grantees; geographically focused on Massachusetts and oriented toward direct program support rather than broad institutional capital.
