Public Policy/Organizing Announcement
Over the past few years, the Foundation
has taken steps to improve how it
measures the impact of its grantmaking,
including its public policy/organizing
work. The Foundation’s public
policy/organizing strategies apply to
all of the three major funding areas:
affordable housing, civic engagement,
and teen development. We believe that
supporting public policy/organizing
efforts can advance the Foundation’s
mission: “to increase economic and
social justice and power within
low-income communities in Boston and
Chelsea, Massachusetts.” Revised
documents for the public
policy/organizing strategies are
available in the
Downloads
section. These documents were all
created with substantive feedback from
many of our grantees. We are very
grateful to everyone who shared his or
her thoughts and opinions! Please note
that the new public policy/organizing
documents have not changed the
Foundation’s grantmaking guidelines.
