What kinds of projects does the Alden Trust support?
With respect to institutions of higher education, the Trust typically supports capital projects for academic purposes and less frequently supports restricted endowment initiatives for need-based scholarship aid, faculty development, or technology enhancement. The Trust currently favors capital projects related to teaching and learning technology in general and to the sciences in particular. Support given to YMCAs is usually for capital projects. Grants provided for educationally related organizations in the Worcester area focus on occasional capital project support.
