Our Mission
Introduction We invite you to study the faces of the people we feature in this Annual Report and bear witness to Boston’s future. Some of them are beginning their adult lives by working at their very first job or becoming the first person in their family to attend college. Others are young entrepreneurs, seasoned artists and middle-aged workers who are training for jobs that will pull them out of poverty and provide a family-supporting income. All of them are crucial to our city’s success. After celebrating our 100th Anniversary last year, we entered the first year of our next century with a tremendous sense of hope. We began by looking back at the work we had done over the last five years and publishing a detailed report on the areas where we successfully moved the needle and those where challenges remain. We launched Vision 2020, a new strategic framework for the next five years. And we returned to our roots by announcing an Open Door Grants program for promising new ideas that need support to take them to the next level. The Foundation has a long history of investing in great ideas and new nonprofits. More than 100 of them have blossomed into some of our city’s most innovative nonprofit organizations and greatest achievements. We want to thank Michael Keating for his tremendous service to this organization as Chair of the Board of Directors for the last eight years. He guided the Foundation through a time of remarkable change and impact. In honor of his contributions, the Foundation has established a $1 million Michael B. Keating Fund for Justice and Social Equity, a flexible fund within our endowment, the Permanent Fund for Boston. Now his name will always be associated with this organization that he served with such wisdom and vision. This Annual Report is about the Boston Foundation’s investments in the future. We will continue to track our progress through the use of data, but we are also committed to telling the stories behind the numbers, as we do in this report. If we succeed in meeting the ambitious goals we and our many partners have set for ourselves, Boston will truly become America’s city of opportunity.

n this, the first year of the Boston Foundation’s next century as Greater Boston’s community foundation, our eyes are focused firmly on the future. Will we be able to extend the benefits of our flourishing innovation economy to more individuals and families? Will our young people find the support they need to prepare for the challenges ahead in school and work? Will Boston experience an arts renaissance through new leadership and vision? Finally, can we build a city that is a national model for breaking cycles of poverty and offering promising futures for its residents? This annual report tells the stories of just some of the organizations and people

Boston’s history and has become a model for cities across the country and for the National Fund for Workforce Solutions. With investments from the Boston Foundation, the City of Boston, Bank of America and other funders, it aims to train low-skill, low-to-moderate-income people so that they can move to family-sustaining jobs and help employers find and retain skilled workers.

The Campaign for Boston
A
t the heart of all of the stories told in this report and everything the Boston Foundation does—every
grant it makes, every innovation it supports, every cause it champions—is its endowment,
“We wanted to create momentum for the Campaign for Boston, and set an example for others,” says Richard DeWolfe, shown here with his wife, Marcy DeWolfe. Both are lifelong residents of Greater Boston and leaders in the community. Richard DeWolfe, who is Chairman of the Board of Manulife Financial/John Hancock Financial, and Managing Partner of DeWolfe & Company, said that he and Marcy DeWolfe have established a bequest of more than $1 million to the Permanent Fund for Boston because they both believe that the endowment equips the Foundation to “innovate while supporting the institutions that make Boston a uniquely great and livable city.”

the Permanent Fund for Boston. Established through bequests left by hundreds of visionary Bostonians, this essential fund fuels all of the Foundation’s work in Greater Boston and provides the resources that have sparked positive change and enabled new ideas for more than 100 years. The Campaign for Boston was launched during the Foundation’s Centennial celebration in 2015, to strengthen this crucial fund and provide a permanent source of funding for future innovators and organizations focusing on the most pressing contemporary needs of our city and the region.
Donors Helping to Shape the Future of the City They Love Through the Permanent Fund for Boston Centennial Circle During the Boston Foundation’s Centennial year, a total of $192 million was raised for the Campaign for Boston, including $15 million in outright leadership gifts of $1 million or more from a Centennial Circle of donors, all prominent philanthropists who care deeply about our community. These resources served to strengthen the Permanent Fund for Boston and community grant making. We honor them here and thank them. Anonymous (2)

Funds and Donors THE PERMANENT FUND FOR BOSTON The Permanent Fund for Boston is the Boston Foundation’s endowment and the most flexible fund it holds, giving our staff and board members the crucial resources they need to respond to the most pressing issues facing contemporary Greater Boston. Many donors have contributed to this fund since the Foundation was first established in 1915. In honor of its Centennial in 2015, the Boston Foundation launched the ongoing Campaign for Boston to strengthen this important fund, which supports grants in Education, Health & Wellness, Jobs & Economic Development, Neighborhoods & Housing, and Arts & Culture– all areas that have a profound impact on the quality of life in Greater Boston.

Reverend Dr. Gregory G. Groover, Sr. is pastor of the Historic Charles Street A.M.E. Church in Roxbury. Having served as Chairman of the Boston School Committee and President of the Black Ministerial Alliance, he says that he supports the Civic Leadership Fund because it has “stepped up for education and the young people of our community in a very powerful way—and it focuses on the full education pipeline, all the way through college.”
Micho Spring “I see the Boston Foundation as an agent for change,” says Civic Leadership Fund donor Micho Spring, who leads Weber Shandwick’s Global Corporate Practice. “The Foundation is contributing a tremendous amount of ‘thought leadership’ and has the ability to bring diverse groups of people to the table.” Spring helped to launch the Latino Legacy Fund at the Boston Foundation, which is building an endowment to benefit Greater Boston’s Latino community.

Applying for a Grant
Vision 2020
FUNDING Opportunities Each year, the Boston Foundation distributes more than $16 million in grants and other support from our endowment, the Permanent Fund for Boston, which has been built over the years through outright gifts and bequests from hundreds of generous Boston area donors who care deeply about our community. Since 2009, the Boston Foundation has invested the majority of the resources from that fund to ‘move the needle’ in a set of five impact areas and two crosscutting strategies. We also distribute a portion of our resources through Open Door Grants, designed to respond to the expressed opportunities and needs of the communities we serve. And a number of grants and strategic investments are made to special issue-focused initiatives.

2016 Financials
The Boston Foundation has a mandate both to fulfill its role as Greater Boston’s community foundation today—by maximizing the dollars available for making grants—and ensuring that the charitable dollars entrusted to the Foundation are available to continue this work tomorrow and in perpetuity. Robust development efforts and a well-diversified investment strategy enable the Foundation to meet these objectives.
Fund for the 21st Century The Boston Foundation offers three separate investment pools within the Fund for the 21st Century. These three pools allow donors to select the option that best matches the time horizon of their charitable giving plans. Donors may also customize their asset allocation by investing among all three pools. The Balanced Plus Pool asset mix is expected to produce the highest long-term investment return. Accordingly, the Boston Foundation invests its endowment assets in the Balanced Plus Pool.
Financial Oversight The Foundation’s Investment Committee establishes investment policy and monitors the individual investment managers and their performance, and the Board sets each year’s spending rate. The Investment Committee is assisted by an independent investment consulting firm.

The assets of the Balanced Plus Pool include not only global stock investments, but participation in private equity, venture capital, real assets (real estate, timber and energy) and flexible capital strategies. Diversification among multiple asset classes
ASSET ALLOCATION Balanced Plus Pool
helps to reduce the volatility of the Foundation’s endowment and should moderate market risk.
The Spending Policy By using a spending policy, the Foundation helps to ensure that the charitable funds will be protected for the future, while continuing to have the most impact today. The 2016 spending rate was 6.4% for its permanently restricted discretionary funds. For Fiscal Year 2017, the Board again approved a spending rate of 6.4% for its discretionary endowment. The Foundation uses a smoothing mechanism that helps balance the current endowment market value and the previous level of spending. Spending is equal to 70% of spending from the previous year, adjusted for inflation, plus 30% of the 6.4% spending rate applied to the current market value. The approved spending policy rate for designated endowment funds is 5.0% for Fiscal Year 2017.

individual donors, families, foundations and corporations. The experience and reputation of TPI significantly expands the range of philanthropic services the Foundation offers. During Fiscal Year 2015, the operations of TPI added $2.5 million of service fee income to the operations of the Foundation.
Financial Analysis Total assets of the Boston Foundation decreased slightly from $992 million to $968 million at June 30, 2016. For the year, net investment returns for the Balanced Plus Pool were (1.5)% during a period in which the global stock market was down (3.7)%. During this same period, the Foundation received $107 million in contributions and paid $100 million in grants. Expenditures for program support and operating expenses totaled $21.2 million, thus explaining the change in total assets.
