Our work with donors is extremely personal and individualized, but in all cases we offer the full resources of the Foundation, from our deep knowledge of Boston’s needs and key players to a top-notch investment team and a vibrant network of fellow donors.
We also offer services that can maximize giving through The Philanthropic Initiative (TPI), an internationally recognized provider of philanthropic consulting and management services housed at the Boston Foundation, which works with individuals, families or organizations to define priorities and strategies, implement programs and evaluate success.
To get started, call our Donor Line at (617) 338-2213.
Non-cash gifts, such as restricted stock and real estate can be a smart way to maximize your philanthropy.
