About

In 2007, the Mansfield Select Board formed the Non-Profit Gift Fund Committee, with the sole purpose of equitably distributing donated monies to Mansfield non-profit programs and projects. All recipients go through a thorough application process and are chosen by the committee  according to the fund criteria.

The Non-Profit Gift Fund Committee invites Mansfield Non-Profit organizations and programs to submit grant requests for funding. If you have any questions, please contact Parks and Recreation Department.

Gift Fund Application Process

The application forms  are available at the Town Clerk’s office, at the Recreation Office in Town Hall, or downloaded below:
