Small but Mighty

We are a community of like-minded good people, coming together to provide opportunities for promising young people in Boston and Chicago, and to have a great time while doing so. Our team is comprised of musical and baseball all-stars, financial and in-kind sponsors, nonprofit partners, and of course our scholars and urban youth. While we might seem like a small organization, the ripple effect of our collective is immeasurable.

Impact Amplified

Our impact is so much greater when we leverage our expertise, connections, and resources. Foundation To Be Named Later collaborates with a collective of bold, innovative, and passionate nonprofit organizations led by extraordinary leaders who are changing the paradigm for urban youth in Boston and Chicago. These partners are resourceful, unintimidated, and driven by a moral obligation to ensure that every child, regardless of circumstance, can thrive. We are endlessly inspired by our partners and could not be more proud or more honored to support their work.
