Greater Boston and Massachusetts PHILANTHROPIC LANDSCAPE
Greater Boston and Massachusetts PHILANTHROPIC LANDSCAPE JUNE 2020 Introduction Every June, Giving USA provides its report on philanthropy from the previous year to the nonprofit community. While reviewing the findings from 2019 will be informative, we know that the current pandemic, social unrest, and economic upheaval are presenting real-time and frequently changing demands on nonprofits across all sectors. In recent years, charitable giving in the United States has reached record-breaking numbers in contributions reported from individuals, foundations, and charitable bequests. The last significant dip in giving was during the financial crisis in 2009, when an estimated 14 million fewer US households reported making charitable gifts. We know that the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted nonprofit programming and finances. All insights point to continued unpredictability. The sector would be wise to make plans now to mitigate a potential dip in fundraising in 2020. While we can’t forecast the future, we do know that it’s critical that organizations stay connected to the communities that they serve, despite economic contraction and our inability to gather as usual. Our valid concerns about the impact of COVID-19 and the societal climate underscore the nonprofit sector’s vital leadership role in the welfare of our communities. More than one million nonprofit organizations are registered in the United States. How well institutions can pivot in response to the monumental events of 2020 will affect their philanthropy and income, and as a result, their programming and impact, well into the future. With this in mind, CCS has endeavored to consolidate many insightful reports on giving and current trends during these uncertain times into this regional philanthropic landscape. -

O’CONNELL Editor’s Introduction: Our Editor’s Choice selection for this issue is excerpted from the book, The Hub’s Metropolis: Greater Boston’s Development from Railroad Suburbs to Smart Growth (Cambridge, MA: The MIT Press, 2013). All who live in Massachusetts are familiar with the compact city of Boston, yet the history of the larger, sprawling metropolitan area has rarely been approached as a comprehensive whole. As one reviewer writes, “Comprehensive and readable, James O’Connell’s account takes care to orient the reader in what is often a disorienting landscape.” Another describes the book as a “riveting history of one of the nation’s most livable places—and a roadmap for how to keep it that way.” James O’Connell, the author, is intimately familiar with his topic through his work as a planner at the National Park Service, Northeast Region, in Boston. -

Introduction The Towns of Yarmouth, Dennis, Orleans, Barnstable, and Falmouth (the “Towns”) are committed to increasing affordable housing rental opportunities for low-to-moderate income households. The Towns have developed a variety of innovative methods to encourage the creation and retention of scattered site rental housing, including by-law provisions for accessory apartments, shop-top housing, and various other zoning and housing incentives. And while committed to ensuring fair and open access to these affordable housing opportunities, the Towns understand that marketing efforts can sometimes be difficult and costly for smaller rental projects. In an effort to further facilitate affordable housing efforts, to ease the financial burden on developers, to ensure that marketing is performed efficiently and effectively by an experienced and qualified entity, and to make the application process for the low-to-moderate income households more streamlined, the following Affirmative Fair Housing Marketing Plan (AFHMP) has been created. This Plan will result in a lotteried Ready Renter list serving affordable housing developments and affordable accessory apartments in the Towns, their residents, and the residents of Barnstable County and the Commonwealth.
