Program Associate, Social Justice Ecology; TBF

As Greater Boston’s community foundation, the Boston Foundation devotes its resources to building and sustaining a vital, prosperous city and region, where justice and opportunity are extended to everyone. We fulfill this mission in three principal ways:

• Making grants to nonprofit organizations and designing special funding initiatives to address this community’s critical challenges;
• Working in partnership with donors and other funders to achieve high-impact philanthropy; and
• Serving as a civic hub and center of information, where ideas are shared, levers for change are identified, and common agendas for the future are developed.

The Program Associate works with the Assistant Director, Programs to advance the Foundation’s grant-making and change-making activities, strategies, and initiatives that fall under the Movements and People Strategies of the Social Justice Ecology. This position requires an individual who has knowledge of and a passion for grassroots leadership, smaller organizations, and social justice movements. The Program Associate supports the Assistant Director with grant-making, research, convenings, events, coordination, and administrative support.
