Based in Boston, Barr focuses regionally, and selectively engages nationally, working in partnership with nonprofits, foundations, the public sector, and civic and business leaders to elevate the arts and creative expression, to advance solutions for climate change, and to connect all students to success in high school and beyond. Founded in 1997, Barr now has assets of $1.7 billion, and has contributed more than $838 million to charitable causes since being founded. Backg round Established in 1987 in MA - Founded by Amos B. Hostetter, Jr., a cable television pioneer and the founder of Continental Cablevision, which was acquired by MediaOne and is now a subsidiary of Comcast. He is currently the chairman of Pilot House Associates, LLC, a family investment office. Prog ram Areas (6) Arts and Creativity Elevating the arts and enabling creative expression to engage and inspire a dynamic, thriving Massachusetts. Great art transforms the way we engage with the world. It brings beauty into our lives. Through creativity we can transcend conventions and generate new ideas, alternatives, and possibilities. Arts and creativity have the power to connect us with each other, to help us understand our dynamic environment, and to imagine new, better, different futures. Against a backdrop of rapidly changing demographics, technological advancements, and evolving art forms, Barr’s Arts & Creativity program seeks to invest in bold ideas and leaders. Our overarching goal is to elevate the arts and enable creative expression to engage and inspire a dynamic, thriving Massachusetts. We will pursue this goal through three strategies: advancing the field’s capacity to adapt, take risks, and engage changing audiences in new ways; fostering opportunities to connect the arts to other disciplines and sectors; and activating public support for the arts. Climate Climate change is real. It is happening. It is accelerating. All over the world, people are experiencing its effects. And these are becoming more devastating every year—a trend that can be checked only through dramatic, global effort. While climate change is a global challenge, cities, states, and regions have become vital agents of leadership. We believe breakthroughs and progress will continue coming from the ground up and that Barr can help catalyze and advance solutions and leadership across our region in ways that also spur broader action. On occasion, we engage in targeted national or global efforts with significant opportunities to contribute to impact. Yet our principal geographic focus is the U.S. Northeast. We focus our mitigation efforts on the two areas that produce the most greenhouse gas emissions: 1) how we generate and use energy; and 2) how we move around. In addition, we acknowledge that even with concerted efforts to mitigate the impacts of climate change, they are inevitable. Coastal cities such as Boston are particularly vulnerable. Our Climate Resilience focus area aims to increase the capacity of Metro Boston communities to prepare for and adapt to the impacts of climate change. To learn more about our Climate strategies and grantmaking priorities, explore our Clean Energy, Mobility, and Climate Resilience focus areas below. Closing Education Opportunity Gaps The foundation's major emphases are on early education, the Boston Public School system, and out-of-school time. Its overarching education goal is to close education opportunity gaps in Boston so that public school achievement is no longer predicted by demographics or address. Cross-Prog ram Initiatives As a complement to our core programs of Arts & Creativity, Climate, and Education, Barr supports a range of activities to reinforce the strategies guiding that work and to deepen our commitment to the region. Cross-Program Initiatives focuses on three broad goals: 1. Invest in leaders. 2. Inform sound decision- making. 3. Support infrastructure for the nonprofit and philanthropic sectors. Educ ation Children - Boys Funding Source Report 1 New England’s secondary schools have done a good job for many students, but we can do a great job for all. Too many New England students need remediation in college despite receiving a high school diploma. Others find it hard to connect to meaningful post-graduation opportunities. Schools must change because the world students live in has changed and so have the knowledge and skills necessary for success in life. The Barr Foundation partners with others to rethink secondary education and build a variety of new school models that fit the needs and strengths of their own community to bring greater success to all students. Rather than focus on one approach, we encourage many that are intentionally designed to engage students through their interests and empower them with content knowledge, successful habits, creative know-how, and navigation abilities—the integrated knowledge and skills all young people need to connect with success in college, career, and community. Mitig ating Climate Chang e To demonstrate how to meet aggressive targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions (and to do so equitably), Barr invests in large-scale efforts to help cities and towns make their buildings more energy efficient. It also supports work to improve the links between where people live, work, learn and play, and to make all forms of transportation – driving, biking, walking, public transit – safer and more affordable, accessible, and efficient. In this work, its primary focus is the Commonwealth’s metro areas. However, given the global nature of this challenge, and the diversity of cities and towns exhibiting real leadership, it also invests in select statewide, regional, and national efforts.

  • Lloyd E. Rigler
    Lloyd E. Rigler Send Flowers loyd Eugene Rigler, a California industrialist and investor whose arts philanthropy ranged from L music in Los Angeles to ballet in his native Northern Plains to the New York City Opera to public television, died Dec. 7 at his home in Los Angeles. He was 88. His death was announced by the Rigler-Deutsch Foundation in Hollywood, of which he was president, and the New York City Opera, of which he was vice chairman. Mr. Rigler was the founder of Classic Arts Showcase, an eclectic television service that distributes performing arts lms at no cost to public television stations, and of the American Association for Single People, which ghts for the economic rights of the unmarried. Mr. Rigler, who built a fortune with Adolph ' s Meat Tenderizer as its foundation, started as a salesman during the Depression. His connection with television also started early, with the 1939-40 New York World ' s Fair, at which he demonstrated RCA ' s new television technology to astonished audiences. He and a partner, Lawrence E. Deutsch, who joined him in making Adolph ' s Meat Tenderizer a national brand, began their philanthropy modestly in the early 1950s, when they formed the Lloyd E. Rigler-Lawrence E. Deutsch Foundation. The foundation was an innovative venture that helped make the matching funds concept a powerful fund-raising tool. Their foundation contributed to the creation of the Los Angeles Music Center and the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. Deutsch died in 1977 and willed his holdings to the foundation.

Instead, another bogus report was commissioned by the owner to say that the previous reports, adopted by the CRA and the LA City Council, as part of the CEQA approvals of the Hollywood Redevelopment Project, were now wrong. No such process for this claim of fraud by the developer against the city’s reports exists under CEQA or the Redevelopment Plan. In fact, it clearly spells out the pro- cedure which is required in a de-des- ignation process including an EIR.

  • Feature Story for Episode #1
    The Freedom Files A Pursuit of Justice Podcast Feature Story for Episode #1 The Domino Effect: My Life as an Advocate By Thomas F. Coleman I’m the host of The Freedom Files – a Pursuit of Justice Podcast. The title of the show explains its focus – freedom and justice. But for whom? At this stage of my life, my time and energy are being devoted to securing liberty and equal rights for people with cognitive and communication disabilities, with a special emphasis on people with developmental disabilities. This is a new frontier in my ongoing and lifelong journey of promoting access to justice for any number of disadvantaged segments of American society. I thought it would be appropriate to use this first episode of the podcast series to introduce myself to the audience. So let’s take a walk down memory lane as I share information with you about my personal background and my history as an advocate. I was born in Michigan as Thomas Frank Coleman on March 15, 1948. (#01) I was the second oldest of the nine children of Murray and Kathleen Coleman. We were raised in a working class family. My dad was a door- to-door insurance salesman and mom stayed at home raising the children. We were a typical suburban nuclear family of the 1950s, (#02) and the 1960s, (#49) and the 1970s. (#50) Throughout my childhood I lived in Ferndale – a suburb adjacent to the city of Detroit. (#02a) I attended St. James Catholic School where I was -1- indoctrinated with rules of the Catholic Church.

Oral History is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ********************************* All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Kenneth Ziffren dated August 4, 2004. The manuscript is thereby made available for research purposes.
