Here is a little photo dump from this weekend's 2024 Grantee Partner Gathering! It was inspiring to see these local leaders come together to share, learn about each other’s work, and collaborate to strengthen movements for social and racial justice. A special shoutout to Episcopal City Mission, Haymarket People's Fund, The Hyams Foundation, The Lenny Zakim Fund, and the Krupp Family Foundation for hosting with us. We are incredibly honored to partner with such powerful community leaders and we look forward to next years Grantee Partner Gathering!

We are excited to share that the Boston Women's Fund will be putting together an Allocations Committee in 2025! We cannot do this work alone — we are calling on you to assist us in our commitment to community-led and participatory grantmaking. As an Allocations Committee member, your assignment, both difficult and rewarding, determines who will receive these grant funds. We strongly encourage people of all ages and identities, inside and outside of philanthropy, to apply! No prior grantmaking experience is required! This is an incredible opportunity to learn more about BWF, gain hands-on experience with grassroots leaders, and engage with community-led solutions to local challenges. If this sounds like a challenge and an opportunity you would like to be part of, please fill out an application form by December 31, 2024.
