Report Illustrates Impact of Organizations on Communities

The Trustees of the Yawkey Foundations recently released the Foundations' 2008 Grants Report, listing nearly $30 million in grants to more than 200 organizations, each working to make a positive impact on the communities and individuals they serve. The Yawkey Foundations' ongoing support of education, health care, human services, athletics, arts and culture, and the environment exists because of Tom and Jean Yawkey's generosity and longstanding commitment to inspire, heal and care for those in need.

Since 2002, the Yawkey Foundations have awarded more than 1,300 grants totaling $230 million to a diverse group of organizations in Massachusetts, New England and Georgetown, South Carolina. For more information or to view the 2008 Yawkey Foundations Grants Report, click here.
