The mission of the Allston/Brighton-Boston College Community Fund is to support programs and services that are available to the people of Allston and Brighton. The Fund Committee seeks applications from organizations, associations, programs, or purposes based in Allston and Brighton. The Committee gives special consideration to the benefit of the potential award on the youth, senior citizens, and the needy in the Allston and Brighton neighborhoods. Beautification projects are also encouraged.

The Fund was established by the Honorable Thomas M. Menino and Rev. J. Donald Monan, former President of and current Chancellor of Boston College. The President of the College, Reverend William P. Leahy and Mayor Menino continue to support this cooperative effort between Boston College and representatives of Allston and Brighton.

The purpose of the awards is to supplement existing budgets of established organizations and agencies in order to promote a program or service for which financial support is not otherwise available. Consultants will not be funded. The Fund Committee also considers and makes awards to independent groups who present a worthy proposal or sponsor a worthwhile event

The Arrupe Neighborhood Partnership (Arrupe), a unique service and community-based program, is central to Saint Ignatius High School's focus on developing "Men for Others."  We offer students and their parents an opportunity to become involved, serve others, build friendships, strengthen their faith, and ultimately to make a difference in the lives of neighborhood children and families in need.  Arrupe sponsors a variety of afterschool service programs and events throughout the school year and summer.

The mission of the Arrupe Program is to promote the pursuit of truly human values by business managers and executives and the people who run them. The program offers an eight-week seminar entitled Faith and Values at Work, to help the participants develop a faith-centered framework for thinking about themselves, the purpose of business, and the vocation of organizational leadership. The Arrupe Program has also developed a one-day workshop centered around these same themes for groups of Jesuit high school and university alumni, and a values-based course, The Foundations Seminar, for use with business management teams.

The Centro Altagracia is dedicated to faith in action; promoting social justice through active collaboration with parishes, community organizations, and individuals and through initiatives that serve the needs of the community as those needs have been identified by the Hispanic community of northern Manhattan. We seek to awaken awareness within individuals of how their Catholic, Christian faith calls them to be aware of the issues impacting their community and to be engaged in action to address these issues. Among the Centro's programs are: Social/Pastoral Ministry Teams that serve as coordinators and catalysts for social awareness and action within parishes; H.E.L.P. (Hispanic Evangelization Leadership Program) that trains young adults for leadership roles within their parishes; and G.R.A.C.E. (Gaining Respect and Awareness through Community Education) which addresses the issue of domestic violence. The Centro also maintains a library of books and DVDs for community use.

Welcome to the D.C. Schools Project at Georgetown University's Center for Social Justice Research, Teaching and Service (CSJ)!  We are a literacy organization that has been serving Washington, D.C.'s low-income immigrant community since 1984.  Each year, about 175 Georgetown students serve 150 K-12 students and more than 100 adult English as a Second Language (ESL) students in D.C. public schools, community-based organizations and homes of immigrant families.

Dolores Mission became a parish in 1945, after twenty years as a mission for nearby
St. Mary's Parish. By then, public housing had become a fixture of the neighborhood.
In 1980, the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits) came to the parish in response to a
request from Cardinal Timothy Manning, the archbishop of Los Angeles at the time.

Dolores Mission School is a parochial school educating grades Kindergarten through Eighth. We strive to serve the families of the greater parish community by offering their elementary school age children the academic and extracurricular programs necessary for them to achieve their God-given human potential. By providing a variety of activities, we hope to develop well-rounded children who are prepared academically, spiritually, physically and emotionally.

This is an education and literacy training for low income families.
