We strive to design a philanthropic plan that fits your goals.  We will marry your aspirations and passion for giving with our deep understanding of the important issues facing our communities to achieve results that matter

Whether you are just beginning your philanthropic journey or posses a high level of clarity and sophistication, we strategically tailor solutions to serve you and create positive change for the causes you care about.

We offer a wide range of giving vehicles to help you simplify your giving, increase the impact of your contributions, and receive maximum charitable tax deductions.  Some donors have established Donor Advised Funds and are actively engaged in the grantmaking process.  Others take advantage of the planned and legacy giving opportunities offered by the Foundation to create a lasting legacy for the future. A number contribute to the Permanent Fund for Boston, which serves as a virtual endowment for Greater Boston—providing the flexible funds that give Foundation staff the resources to respond to the most pressing concerns of the day. And an increasing group of donors contribute to the Civic Leadership Fund to support the Boston Foundation’s “beyond grantmaking” activities.
