Where to get the grants

December 14th, the Boston Foundation announced the availability of OPEN DOOR GRANTS. Open Door Grants are especially focused on organizations serving and building power in communities historically excluded from institutional philanthropy and whose leadership reflects the communities they serve. If you -are not a non-profit you may still apply with a fiscal agent.
