Philanthropy is at its best when it puts people before conventions and prioritizes collaboration with the public and those closest to the challenges. This year, we grew our grantmaking, welcomed new organizations to the BWF family, and continued to support changemakers across Greater Boston. Explore this interactive newsletter for highlights of our work in 2025. 

This year, we set our sights on reimagining how philanthropy can make greater strides toward justice and liberation. Inside this interactive newsletter, you’ll find highlights of all that we accomplished in 2022 in addition to where we’re headed next. We also shine a light on our grassroots grantee partners’ life-changing work across Greater Boston. All captions, grantees, and grantee features are hyperlinked to their websites so you can dive deeper into their work. 

As we reflect on this past year and look forward to the work ahead, one theme resonates throughout our mission: liberation. This past year, our grassroots partners, despite immense personal and systemic challenges, have made profound impacts in their communities.
