Everyone can join us in this important work.
Since our founding in 2020, the New Commonwealth Fund has raised nearly $50 million and provided more than 7,000 hours of capacity building, technical asstance, office hours, and site visits to nonprofit partners.
A Message of Hope
When we reflect on that moment of our founding, we feel a range of emotions. Pride in the work that our team has done to date. Impatience at the pace of change in the philanthropic sector. At times, despair—especially when we see the intentional, organized backlash to racial equity that is sweeping through our country.
But we ultimately settle on hope. Here’s why:
We are filled with hope by the leaders we fund, in their collective vision for a Commonwealth free from prejudice. Whether the organization is pursuing groundbreaking legislation to reform our criminal legal system; seeking to open the first midwife-operated birth center in Greater Boston; or, to inspire a new generation of artists to speak their truth, these leaders remind us of their genius, and persistence, every day.
We’re excited to share our impact and growth with you, and tremendously grateful for your enduring support. Thank you.
