About Rockland Trust Charitable Foundation
Rockland Trust Charitable Foundation Inc. appears to make very concentrated, high-value gifts rather than many small awards: in the reported period it made a single $2.6M grant described only as for an "Exempt Purpose." The foundation’s activity suggests it supports major one-off commitments—likely capital, endowment, or large unrestricted support—focused on local or institution-level needs tied to its Rockland/South Shore, MA base.

About Rockland Trust Charitable Foundation
Rockland Trust Charitable Foundation Inc. stands out for a single large 2025 grant of $2,606,563 labeled “Exempt Purpose,” a sign of grantmaking that can include major institutional commitments rather than only routine awards. Alongside that outlier, the foundation’s recent record includes repeated support for Massachusetts organizations in health, education, community services, and local development. Old Colony YMCA received grants of $41,000 in 2023 and $25,000 in 2024, while Brockton Hospital Inc received $30,000 in 2024, showing a pattern of support for community-serving institutions in the South Shore and broader Massachusetts region. The foundation also made $30,000 to FamilyAid Boston Inc and $25,000 to Boston Chinatown Neighborhood Center, indicating attention to human services and neighborhood-based support in urban communities. Smaller awards are common too, but the visible recent grant list includes several $25,000 grants, suggesting a mix of recurring community support and larger one-time exempt-purpose commitments.
What Rockland Trust Charitable Foundation Funds
Education appears in several forms. Rockland Trust Charitable Foundation Inc. gave $25,000 to Boston College High School in 2023 and also supports its annual scholarship program, which awards $3,000 to students in Massachusetts and the Rockland Trust service area. Health and human services are also present: Brockton Hospital Inc received $30,000 in 2024, and Stanley Street Treatment & Resources Inc received $20,000 in 2024 and another $20,000 in 2023. Community support extends to organizations meeting direct needs, including $20,000 to Greater New Bedford Community Health Center Inc and $30,000 to FamilyAid Boston Inc. The foundation’s community-oriented giving also includes place-based support such as $33,333 to Worcester Regional Strategic Opportunities Fund in 2024.
How Rockland Trust Charitable Foundation Gives
The typical grant size is modest relative to the largest awards, with p25 at $2,500, a median of $5,000, and p75 at $7,500. The recent record also shows a much larger commitment at the top end, including a single $2.6 million exempt-purpose payment in 2025. The foundation operates as a regular funder rather than a DAF, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. Recipients appear across multiple years in some cases, including Old Colony YMCA and Stanley Street Treatment & Resources Inc, which points to some repeat support rather than purely one-time giving.
