ABOUT GIVING BOSTON
The Boston landscape for 21st Century giving mirrors national trends.
will have a tremendous impact on our community, as researchers estimate that intergenerational wealth transfer in Boston could translate into as much as $359 billion in philanthropic donations alone by 2055.
To better understand who will be making this impact on our community and what they care about, we have created the Giving Boston Research Initiative. Giving Boston utilizes a propriety methodology which includes a framework, Linked Philanthropic Equity, to ground the research and provide a racial equity lens.
At the core is a survey which wil provide us with baseline data to examine our work through the lens of age cluster, gender, race, ethnicity, and sexual orientation. We will analyze the data and supplement the initiative with a series of 1:1 interviews, focus groups and input from national philanthropy experts. The results will provide us all with a look at the future giving landscape and allow affinity groups to understand their collective interests with greater clarity.
