The Plymouth Rock Assurance Foundation directs its entire documented philanthropic budget to employee-directed giving via a single intermediary, indicating the foundation's priority is enabling workplace/employee matching rather than making direct programmatic grants. All grants (nine totaling $4,011,465) were made to the Blackbaud Giving Fund for employee matching, suggesting the foundation supports broad, donor-advised distribution of funds determined by employees or policyholders rather than selecting specific nonprofit partners itself.
The Plymouth Rock Assurance Foundation’s documented giving is organized around employee-directed philanthropy, with grants routed through Blackbaud Giving Fund rather than to a wide list of direct nonprofit partners. In the recent grants file, that intermediary appears repeatedly across 2023, 2024, and 2025, including a $736,570 grant in 2024 and a $654,500 grant in 2025. That pattern points to a structure built to channel employee matching and related charitable distributions at scale. Within the employee-matching side of the portfolio, the foundation also supported a set of local nonprofits across Massachusetts and nearby states. Boston Schools Fund received $60,000 in 2024, while Thompson Island Outward Bound, St. Stephen’s Youth Programs, and The Steppingstone Foundation each received $50,000 that same year. The recent grants list also includes gifts to Girls Inc. of Lynn, Boston After School & Beyond, Bridge Boston Charter School, and several other youth- and education-focused organizations. The available records show a broad community orientation rather than a single issue niche, but the recurring intermediary grants and the cluster of employee-directed awards give the foundation a clear operating pattern: it funds through workplace giving and matching mechanisms, then distributes across a mix of community, education, and service organizations.
Education appears consistently in the employee-matching stream. Boston Schools Fund received $60,000 in 2024, and The Steppingstone Foundation received $50,000 in the same year. Other education-linked recipients include Bridge Boston Charter School and Phoenix Charter Academy Network, both listed among 2024 employee-matching grants. Youth services are another visible theme. Thompson Island Outward Bound and St. Stephen’s Youth Programs each received $50,000 in 2024, and Boston After School & Beyond also appears in the recent grants list with a $50,000 employee-matching grant. The foundation’s grants also reach mentoring and youth-development organizations such as Silver Lining Mentoring and Big Brothers Big Sisters. Human services and community support show up as well. Casa Esperanza Inc. received $20,000 in 2024, Fathers Uplift Inc. received $20,000, and Bridge Over Troubled Waters received $20,000. In addition, Boston Community Pediatrics and Salem Mission Inc. each received $25,000 through employee matching.

Highly concentrated: 100% of documented giving routed to a single intermediary for employee matching; repeat grants to the same grantee rather than direct, program-specific awards.
Notable grantees: Blackbaud Giving Fund
Typical grants are small: the distribution shows a p25 of $160, a median of $400, and a p75 of $2,208. The recent-grants table also shows a mix of large intermediary awards and smaller employee-matching gifts, which suggests a two-track pattern inside the same foundation. The same intermediary, Blackbaud Giving Fund, appears in multiple years and at multiple amounts, indicating recurring support rather than one-off giving. The foundation is a regular funder and does not fund individuals or program-related investments. The documented grantmaking is centered on employee-directed charitable giving.
Grant recipients are overwhelmingly U.S.-based, with 317 grants to U.S. organizations. Massachusetts is the top state by grant count, and 44% of grants go to recipients in the foundation’s HQ state. Recent recipient cities cluster in Greater Boston: Boston, Lynn, Roxbury, Dorchester, Somerville, Salem, and Amherst appear in the grants list. Outside Massachusetts, the table includes Charleston, South Carolina; Tampa, Florida; and New York, New York.
