The Boston Foundation for Architecture was created by the Boston Society of Architects in 1984 to support public education programs in Massachusetts related to the built environment. Over the years, the BFA has supported film and video productions, community-based programs, exhibitions and tours, in-school educational programs, research projects, conferences, lectures, symposiums, and other community activities.
Through 2009, the BFA has distributed more than $840,000 in grants to public and private sector groups. These include UrbanArts, Boston By Foot, the Boston Public Library, the Discovery Museum, the Historic Neighborhoods Foundation, Hawthorne Youth and Community Center/Roxbury, Southeastern Massachusetts Arts Collaborative, Preservation Worcester, Nueva Esperanza, Artists for Humanity, the Architectural Education Resource Center, The Children's Museum, Massachusetts Coalition for the Homeless, MYTOWN, Girls Inc., Auburndale Community Association, Quincy Historical Society and many schools, CDCs, and other organizations committed to enhancing public awareness of the built environment.
While we fund many programs for schoolchildren, the BFA supports programs for Massachusetts residents of all ages.
