BECOMING A DONOR

Give With Us

Collaborate with us to increase the power of our grantmaking and create a more equitable Boston. No one funder can move the needle on our most pressing and intractable problems. We combine our philanthropy with deep public policy work that brings about systemic change. Your participation can strengthen our impact.

Give Through Us

Establish a Donor Advised Fund at the Boston Foundation. This is ideal if you want the benefits of opening or maintaining a private foundation with none of the administrative, legal, tax or regulatory burdens. You can maximize your philanthropy with access to our research, expert asset management, and unparalleled experience with donors and Greater Boston’s nonprofit organizations. Your giving can be local, national or international in scope. And, if you’re thinking about the future, we can work with you today to develop a legacy plan for tomorrow that will have the maximum benefit on future generations.

Give To Us

Our Annual Campaign for Civic Leadership enables us to drive real change by bringing people together to plan our city’s agenda, always grounded in fresh research, working across sectors to advance a bold agenda for our region, and joining with policymakers to effect deep systems change. Let us help you transform your dedication to Greater Boston into real change.
