The Eastman Charitable Foundation’s mission is to promote environmental stewardship, education, and green recreation through grants and scholarships. We serve Grantham, Enfield, and Springfield – including the Eastman Community. We award grants to area schools, towns, Conservation Commissions, and other local organizations to support projects within our mission. Our Grants and Scholarship Programs are supported by individual and community partner donations. The Foundation is a volunteer-based organization, which keeps our administrative costs to a minimum while maximizing the local impact of each donation we receive.
