The Bruce J. Anderson Foundation at the Boston Foundation provided $222,500 in grants to 35 nonprofit organizations as part of its 2025 grantmaking cycle. Congratulations to the 2025 grantees for their important work and positive impact on our community!

The Trustees of the Bruce J. Anderson are committed to ensuring that our grantmaking continues to have the greatest possible impact. To that end, we will be taking a one-year hiatus from awarding new grants while we engage in a comprehensive strategic planning process.

This pause will allow us to reflect on our past work, assess community needs, and chart a thoughtful course for future grant cycles. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to sharing updates as our plans develop.

Please check back for announcements and opportunities as we approach the conclusion of this planning period.
