"They have the will. They have the creativity. But they lack the means.
We give them the means."
~ Lenny Zakim
Founded by Boston’s late civil rights leader in 1995, The Lenny Zakim Fund believes positive social change can be created by small, effective, grassroots organizations that are often overlooked by large foundations, government agencies, and major donors. That is why it is our mission to identify, listen to, support and connect grassroots community organizations and programs operating "below the radar screen" of large charitable groups and government grants.

Community Spotlight: The Human Experience
At the essence of life is the human experience. Cultural gaps are insignificant compared to what lies within the core of every human being. This is what Adnan Zubcevic, director of the Bosnian Community Center for Resource Development, believes. His organization revolves around the idea that humans are “colored with cultures,” not defined by them. Through initiatives such as Izvor, a psycho-educational newsletter, BCCRD hopes to “define the space between” countries, cultures, and people, and he feels that this mission is intricately tied to that of the Lenny Zakim Fund.
