关于我们
Founded in 2022, the Atrius Health Equity Foundation aims to make large-scale, strategic investments in selected neighborhoods in Eastern Massachusetts to turn the tide on the chronic conditions that cut short too many lives. These initiatives will be led by trusted, community-based organizations and will encompass the upstream causes of health inequities and strengthened connections to community-based primary care. We will meet the urgency of this moment with resources, talent and commitment to close the gap.

A must-read: "If trust-based philanthropy and holding power accountably is about building the relationships and trust to experiment with community-centered decision making, then it must also be about building the capacity, confidence, and infrastructure to hand this financial infrastructure over to the communities themselves. There are lots of ways to do that. One way is for a foundation to spend down while building up its grantees alongside community-owned and -controlled financial infrastructure." - Farhad Ebrahimi, The Chorus Foundation (2026-2023).

What if you had to face a hard choice: pay healthcare bills or buy food? In MA, 1 in 8 residents has medical debt and communities of color are most affected. Surprisingly, it doesn't cost a lot to solve this problem: just $1 donated relieves about $100 worth of medical debt. Seeking systemic change, this year we're investing $10 million to wipe out nearly half a billion dollars in medical debt in Eastern MA, with a funding approach that integrates policy advocacy and legal assistance with community-based outreach and counseling.

We're thrilled for The BASE, one of our Youth As Health Care Agents grantees. In the words of its CEO Steph Lewis, "This is truly a new chapter for The BASE – one in which we are property owners with true stake in the community, leveraging rent savings to innovate and reinvest back into programming for our young people and families." Congratulations!
We are thrilled to announce we recently purchased our facility at 150 Shirley St., along with the adjacent lot at 136 Shirley St., in Roxbury. As a result, in the years ahead we will have the capacity to make deeper investments in programs and serve more young people and families. The BASE is now a property owner with a vested stake in the future of Roxbury and the Newmarket neighborhood. Our vision is to create long-term, intergenerational impact through sports and education, developing young leaders to succeed and become property owners, themselves, right here in Boston.? ? We are grateful for all those who contributed at this critical juncture for The BASE. Foremost, we would like to thank our lead partner, the Yawkey Foundation, who awarded a $1.5 million Transformational Grant for the purchase, design and renovations of the building. The grant further cements our longstanding relationship and includes the renaming of the facility to the Yawkey Urban Sports Complex: Home of The BASE. ? In addition, we thank Sandy & Paul Edgerley, Barbara & Amos Hostetter, Anne Lovett & Steve Woodsum, Tristin & Martin Mannion, Brooke & Will Muggia, Dana & Rob Smith, Stephanie & Brian Spector, The Boston Foundation, Eastern Bank, and several anonymous supporters. Thanks to the support of these families and institutions, and the leadership of BASE President & CEO Steph Lewis and our Board of Directors, The BASE will be a permanent resource in #Roxbury. We couldn't be more proud, and we look forward to deepening our impact with Boston's amazing young people and families.
