In concert with our grantmaking work around Child Well-Being, Economic Opportunity, Community Wealth and Community Leadership, a portion of the Foundation’s grantmaking funds are distributed through programs or initiatives that seek to address a well-defined issue, need or area of the community. These programs are created when the Foundation, often in partnership with other funders, sets aside resources to address specific, pressing issues, frequently over a multi-year period. The funding criteria and application processes vary by program and funds are often, but not always, distributed through competitive requests for proposals.
Currently open opportunities are featured here and on the Boston Foundation homepage.
