About Us
The Gould Charitable Foundation
is a philanthropic trust created as a memorial to the late
Robert L. Gould
Our mission is to assist organizations in improving the communities where Mr. Gould lived and worked -- the greater metropolitan areas of Boston and Kansas City -- by making grants to fund projects at 501(c)(3) charitable organizations whose vision and goals are aligned with our areas of interest.
We are currently most interested in funding programs in the following areas (in alphabetic order):
Elder Services
Environmental Stewardship
Health Care
Preservation of Personal Rights
Training for the Disadvantaged
Welfare and Education of Children
Women's Issues
We have particular interest in funding innovative projects rather than ongoing maintenance or capital campaigns, with priority given to moderately-sized projects for which the foundation's contribution can comprise a significant portion of the project's budget. We also give priority to projects that have high leveraging potential in terms of expansion and/or replication, and projects that will provide ongoing value past the grant year.
Charitable organizations that service the target geographic areas and match our interests are encouraged to apply for funding.
