Special Allocations Grants (Barnum Foundation for Life)

About this program

The Barnum Foundation for Life offers Special Allocations Grants to support 501(c)(3) organizations that positively impact children and families in need across Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island. Grant requests are reviewed on a rolling basis by the Special Allocations Grants Committee, composed of members of the foundation’s board of directors; the foundation does not list specific award amounts or application deadlines. Eligible applicants are IRS‑recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofits serving children and families in the listed states and must submit requests via the foundation’s "Request a Grant" web page for committee consideration.
