Foley Hoag Foundation

2015-2016 Annual Report

@FoleyHoagFDN

BACKGROUND

Established in December of 1980, the Foley Hoag Foundation is a private

foundation originally focused on improving race relations among youth in

Greater Boston. Since 2015, the Foundation’s mission has been

broadened to support programs addressing inequality in its various

forms, including but not limited to racial, ethnic and gender disparities

in both Greater Boston and metropolitan Washington D.C.

Grantee organizations achieve their goals through a variety of means

such as art and cultural activities, youth leadership, and recreational

programs. Other grantees provide advocacy assistance, enabling

individuals to confront inequality through legal or political action.

2015 OPERATIONS

In 2015 the trustees of the Foley Hoag Foundation

broadened the Foundation’s mission to support

programs in Washington D.C. area and to include

organizations that address the issues of inequality

in its various forms. The Foley Hoag Foundation

also welcomed two new trustees to the

Foundation – Jeffrey Mullan and James

Montgomery.

The trustees reviewed 53 grant proposals, many

from first-time applicants. With the assistance of

GMA Foundations and Foley Hoag volunteers, the

trustees awarded grants totaling $80,000 to 14

organizations. Our grantees do incredible work on

extremely modest budgets. In general, these

organizations have not yet achieved access to

broad public support and their programs have

been disproportionately impacted by the shrinking

philanthropic pool.

The trustees of the Foley Hoag

Foundation would like to

thank the following volunteers

for their assistance in

reviewing grant proposals

during the 2015 grant cycle:

●Allison Anderson, Andrew

GRANTMAKING POLICIES

Preference is given to innovative projects in Greater Boston and Washington, D.C. where a small

grant is likely to make a meaningful difference. Through its grantmaking activities, the

Foundation is committed to fostering a spirit of mutual respect, understanding and cooperation

among people of diverse backgrounds, for the long-term benefit of all residents of the areas

swerved by the Foundation.

The Foundation allocates its grant resources across multiple fields including arts, education,

training and research, cultural activities, and social services. It places an emphasis on

collaborative programs and projects which engage people of different backgrounds in a common

effort to create equal opportunity.

Guidelines emphasize a preference for:

• Projects that constructively engage people of different races and backgrounds

• Projects with a geographic focus on the City of Boston or Metropolitan Washington, D.C.

• Organizations with integrated boards and staff leadership, or with active plans to do so

• Project-related grants, rather than requests for capital expenditures or general operating

funds

• Small or start-up organizations with budgets of less than $500,000 where a small grant is

likely to have a greater impact

• Grants for programs that collaborate with other agencies

• Leveraging support by awarding conditional or challenge grants requiring grantees to raise

matching funds

DEDICATION

Robert R. Kiley

When the Foley Hoag Foundation was established, the partners sought the advice

of leaders in the Boston community to determine who would be the best persons to

serve as the two non-Foley Hoag trustees of the Foundation. One name suggested

by everyone was Robert Kiley, then Deputy Mayor of the City of Boston (and later

General Manager of the MBTA), who had been active in working to resolve Boston’s

school busing crisis. When asked to serve as a founding trustee, Bob immediately

accepted, and the Foley Hoag Foundation was on its way.

Bob served as a trustee until 1983 when he moved from the MBTA to New York City

to become Chairman of the New York Metropolitan Transit Authority. Later he

moved to London where he became the first Commissioner of Transport for London.

Bob was a distinguished public servant, a wise counsellor and a great friend of the

Foley Hoag Foundation. His guidance in the early years of the Foundation was

instrumental in setting the Foundation on the course it has successfully followed

for decades.

In his honor and for his service, we dedicate this Annual Report to Robert R. Kiley.
