As Greater Boston’s community foundation, the Boston Foundation devotes its resources to building and sustaining a vital, prosperous city and region, where justice and opportunity are extended to everyone. They fulfill this mission in three principal ways:

• Making grants to nonprofit organizations and designing special funding initiatives to address this community’s critical challenges;
• Working in partnership with donors and other funders to achieve high-impact philanthropy; and
• Serving as a civic hub and center of information, where ideas are shared, levers for change are identified, and common agendas for the future are developed.
