Please consider tuning in on September 3rd and donating to the Boston Resiliency Fund (or donate even if you can't tune in!). This invaluable program is providing essential support to those Bostonians most in need during these trialing times.

The priorities of the Boston Resiliency Fund are to:

- provide food to Boston's children, families and seniors

- technology to Boston Public Schools students for remote learning, and

- provide support to first responders, front-line workers and healthcare workers so they can effectively do their job and promote public health.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES:

1. Acting with urgency and transparency. We want to support immediate and basic needs.

2. Simplifying the grantmaking process.We're making unrestricted grants so grantees can focus on doing the work.

3. Directing 100% of all donations to organizations providing critical, essential services. We're helping Boston residents most immediately affected by COVID-19.

4. Applying a lens of equity. We want to ensure we help people and families most in need.
