Applicants should be local organizations that are not only headquartered in but also provide at least 50 percent of their services in this tri-county area.
In addition, all funding requests should focus exclusively on operations within the tri-county area. Special consideration is given to nonprofits based in the 11 cities and towns where the Cummings organization operates commercial real estate. The Foundation may also give such consideration to organizations that are based elsewhere in the tri-county area and propose introducing programming or services in one or more of these 11 communities, especially Woburn.
Nonprofits that meet these criteria and provide some services statewide, or even in adjacent states, are eligible for consideration. Given the strong local nature of this funding program, however, organizations that are truly regional, national, or international will not be considered even if they meet the 50 percent threshold for services.
While not in any way minimizing the value or importance of organizations focused on the arts including dance, music, and theater , culture, environment, athletics, or the preservation of land or historic buildings, these areas are not among this program's priorities.

Such exceptions may be made in recognition of a particular relationship to or with the Foundation. To avoid bias in evaluating grant applications, Cummings Foundation staff members do not typically conduct site visits or hold informational or relationship-building meetings with grant applicants.
This policy is applied uniformly, so organizations will not be disadvantaged by it.
