The Boston Foundation, based in Boston, Massachusetts, operates as a community foundation with a substantial endowment and a long-standing presence among the nation's early examples of this model. It collaborates with community members, donors, public agencies, businesses, and nonprofits to address local disparities, advance economic justice, and expand opportunities in Greater Boston. The foundation collects and analyzes data, commissions research, shares knowledge, and funds initiatives that inform public policy, catalyze conversations, and address the long-standing harms of inequity. As a major grantmaker in New England, it supports nonprofits in Greater Boston through its endowment and works with donors to fund initiatives locally and beyond. In recent developments, The Boston Foundation announced that Phill Gross, co-founder of Adage Capital, will join its Board of Directors on July 1, 2026.
