3) Boston Rising is accepting nominations for Grove Hall residents, youth, small business school-based and faith-based representatives for the Grove Hall Trust. Terms will range from 18 months to 24 months. Letters of recommendations should be sent to Talia Rivera, Community and Grants as soon as possible. Trustees will meet as a group a minimum of 6 times per year, and meetings conducted in Grove Hall will vary from 2-5 hours in duration.
Grove Hall Trust is one of Boston Rising’s signature grantmaking initiatives. It is based on two key ideas: 1) communities know what they need to improve their outcomes and 2) impact comes from shared risk and responsibility. The Grove Hall Trust is a fund established by Boston Rising, matched at 10% by the Grove Hall community and administered by Trustees from the community itself.
