Program areas at Massachusetts Wonderfund

Enrichment grants (the fun stuff):we invest in moments: music lessons, sat prep, soccer camp. These moments build confidence, character, and foster life-long respect for self and others through keeping children's minds and bodies active outside of school. We believe every kid deserves to do the things they love and our goal is to enrich the lives of our kids. We want them to have some of the same moments of joy as our own families.emergency removal kits and basic necessities (the tough stuff):we provide funds for the first night when a child is removed from their home, a moment that is difficult for all involved. We provide a duffel bag and funds for necessities like season-appropriate clothing and pajamas to give them something of their own in a strange new place. We also provide emergency funds for winter coats and other necessities for children across massachusetts.holiday drive (the presents and stuff):we believe that everybody deserves a gift during the holidays and we arrange donated gifts across the state and raise funds to provide gifts for children and teens.
