The Outreach Committee is hoping to award 2-4 substantial grants in 2020-1 of $5000-$25,000 to small but proven charities in the greater Boston area for Capital Improvement and/or Transformative Innovation programs.  We welcome suggestions from FPL members and friends of worthy small organizations with work concentrated within a radius of 30 miles or so.  Recent grants, including several nominated by FPL members, have been awarded in all of the following areas and more: food security, medical services, racial equity, environmentalism, and support for the homeless.  Please submit your nominations by or before November 10 to fplgiving@gmail.com or Larry Buell at lbuell@fas.harvard.edu.
