The Boston Foundation’s endowment, the Permanent Fund for Boston, has provided the resources for the numerous times the Boston Foundation has been “there at the beginning,” providing seed capital and early grants to new nonprofits, ideas and innovations in all areas of community life. In some cases, the Boston Foundation helped to launch these endeavors and provided key leadership.
