The Foundation is bound to a stewardship role in furtherance of its historical purpose and mission.

Addresses the quality of life of low-income elderly women of African-american descent in the Boston area. The Foundation’s primary commitment is to: 1. Support program efforts concerned with meeting the housing, health care, transportation, social service and mental health needs of the Foundation’s beneficiaries. 2. Promote greater understanding of relevant social and economic policy issues in order to encourage development of needed resources.
