FRAMINGHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sincere Foundation (www.sincere.com) today announced that it has awarded $175,000 in new grants to 13 Massachusetts nonprofit organizations that address the basic needs of a community – food security, housing stability, and safe spaces. This most recent round of grants completes the second full year of operation for Sincere Foundation. Since its inception in 2023, the organization has awarded $735,000 in total grants to 41 nonprofits.

“Sincere Foundation is committed to funding Massachusetts nonprofits who support our most vulnerable communities,” said Rebecca Reiner, Executive Director, Sincere Foundation. “We are impressed by the innovative ways in which this group of grant recipients works to alleviate systemic challenges in food security, housing stability, and access to safe spaces.”
