Annual Reports
Capturing the essence of our community - year by year
Each year, the Boston Foundation publishes an annual report, sharing not only annual updates on our financial information and a listing of our funds, but also capturing some of the stories and themes that make each year special. The reports are a snapshot of the Foundation's connection to Greater Boston and its many communities, and a way for us to recognize and thank the donors, nonprofit and civic leaders, and residents who make Greater Boston a special place to live, work and grow. Note: The Foundation also posts its most-recent audited financial statements online - they can be found in the Financial Information section of the website.
