Giving + Co-investment Opportunities
For donors, private foundations and others with significant resources, the Boston Foundation provides opportunities to leverage charitable dollars and meet mutually agreeable goals. This may mean partnering with the Foundation on a specific grant that has undergone rigorous review by our program staff, or joining the Boston Foundation and other funders on one of our special initiatives—such as the Success Boston college completion initiative, or Health Starts at Home, which brings together housing and health-care organizations to demonstrate the benefits of stable, affordable housing on children’s health outcomes.
