Investing in the community through Community Works

Community Works is a collaboration of 17 member organizations, including the Hawthorne Youth and Community Center, Haley House, and Paige Academy. Together, they seek to cultivate sustainable sources of support and funding for its social justice member organizations through organizing workplace giving campaigns and individual sustained giving.

Community Works member organizations are focused on a range of critical issues, including youth empowerment, public health, environmental justice, racial equity, and workers’ rights. Their impact is both local and global and makes a huge difference for constituents in the City of Boston.

This past October, Community Works celebrated their annual Social Justice Day. Councilor Janey said, “I was proud to sponsor a resolution declaring the day and honoring the enormous amount of work that has been done. As someone who worked for many years in the nonprofit sector, I know how challenging it can be for small organizations, and particularly those that are community-based, to raise sufficient funds.”
