Established in December 1980 by the partners of law firm Foley Hoag, The Foley Hoag Foundation is a private foundation that seeks to combat racism, especially among youth, in the City of Boston. The Foundation awards grants to organizations working to improve the racial climate in Boston by addressing issues of diversity and racism. Grantee organizations achieve their goals through a variety of means, including arts and cultural activities, youth leadership and recreational programs. Other grantees provide advocacy assistance, enabling individuals to confront racism through legal or political action. Some grantee organizations work to prepare young children to live in the reality of a multicultural society, others engage teens, and a few target a primarily adult constituency.
The Foley Hoag Foundation was the first—and remains the only— foundation to focus exclusively on the improvement of race relations in Boston. The trustees are fortunate to have the unqualified endorsement of Foley Hoag, which has provided an enormous amount of financial, administrative and moral support.
Creativity is at work here.
The imagery used in our Annual Report is from Artists for Humanity, a program supported by The Foley Hoag Foundation and dedicated to channeling the creativity of young people into tangible commercial goods. This youth-run arts group celebrates the talents and wonderful energy of young people by giving them hands-on experience in business, teamwork, and self-governance.
