Grants

Although modest in its resources the Weil foundation has given away more than one million dollars to date to various other charitable organzations that work to ameliorate child abuse. With the exception of a few organizations very closely linked with the Drs. Weil themselves, the foundation makes grants exclusively to organizations that:

• Are in the immediate vacinity of Boston, e.g., within route 128.
• Are judged by their peer organizations to be of the very highest quality.
• Provide direct services that either treat the problems caused by child abuse or prevent child abuse.
• Provide services predominantly to children under the age of 10.
• Pursue a long-term therapeutic approach.
• Take steps to evaluate the effectiveness of what they do.
• Are in a situation where a modest grant of at most a few tens of thousands of dollars can make a big difference.

There being many more organizations that fit the criterea above than can possibly be funded by the Weil Foundation, the board of the Weil Foundation makes its grant decisions based on which organizations in their sole opinion best carry on the tradition of the work of the Drs. Weil. (The Foundation is not currently accepting any unsolicited proposals.)
