  The Foundation is accepting applications and reports through an on-line system.  For groups that wish to submit an application for the March 1, 2012, deadline in the Civic Engagement-Grassroots Leadership Development and the Affordable Housing, Civic Engagement and Teen Development Public Policy areas, all applications and grant reports are to be submitted through the Foundation's new online grant application and reporting system.  All other organizations should be in touch with their program officer or Susan Perry, Administrative Manager, at (617) 426-5600 ext. 307 or sperry@hyamsfoundation.org prior to submitting either a grant report or application.
