From the beginning of The Lenny Zakim Fund, we have been intentional about standing with our grantee partners whether it be in moments of celebration or challenging times. This year, LZF has engaged in a 30-year longitudinal study to better understand our impact, how our evolution has been driven by our grantee partners and how we sustain our impact moving forward. Through conversations, surveys, and learning efforts over the past year, one sentiment rose to the surface again and again. As one partner described it, “I don’t just feel supported by LZF—I feel held.”
That sense of being “held” is at the heart of our work.
Both in this moment and as we look ahead, the challenges facing grassroots organizations are and no doubt will remain profound. Yet so are their creativity, resilience, and determination. Your support enables LZF to continue showing up as a consistent, values-driven partner—providing not only financial resources, but also encouragement, learning, and space for organizations to grow and adapt over time.
We are deeply grateful to you for making this possible. You are part of a community that understands that lasting change is built through relationships—through funders who are willing to listen, learn, and stay the course.
With gratitude,
Allison E. Picott
Executive Director
