Falmouth Walk — 2027 Grant Application
The Falmouth Walk annual charitable event is accepting 2027 funding applications from nonprofit community service organizations serving Falmouth, Massachusetts. The competitive program supports qualifying local community needs through specific projects, general operating support, and eligible capital improvements. Applications for 2027 awards opened September 21, 2026.
Applicant Funding and Deadline
The foundation reports a typical/average grant of approximately $4,000, but does not publish a binding minimum or maximum individual applicant award. Applicants should request the amount needed and recognize that awards can be partly funded depending on the event’s proceeds. Submit a complete application no later than November 13, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. The controlling PDF refers to midnight and the website FAQ clarifies applications are accepted until 11:59 p.m.; no explicit time zone is stated. Funding decisions are expected by March 2027, with final award amounts determined by September 2027 and checks distributed in October 2027. No overall fund pool is misrepresented as an individual award.
Eligible Applicants and Uses
Eligible local nonprofits must serve Falmouth and provide proof of IRS 501(c)(3) status. An organization that is not itself tax-exempt may apply with an eligible fiscal sponsor providing its IRS letter, executed fiscal sponsorship agreement, and written responsibility/fee acknowledgment. Previously funded organizations may reapply but should document the use and evaluation of prior Falmouth Walk funding. Projects, general support and capital improvements are eligible; proposed funds must be used for the approved purpose. Any changes in use or postponement require funder permission. The official application package does not establish a universal cash-match percentage or reimbursement method.
