Thank You for Celebrating with us at the 30th Annual Awards Ceremony!
It was such a joy to be together last night to celebrate The Lenny Zakim Fund’s 30th Annual Awards Ceremony – over 30 years of building community, strengthening grassroots leadership, and standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the people doing the hardest and most necessary work for justice.
Lenny founded The Fund with the simple but powerful belief that extraordinary social change happens at the grassroots level, when people closest to injustice are trusted, resourced, and supported. Thirty years later, that belief continues to guide us.
This year, we are proud to have granted $669,000 to 42 renewal and 7 new grantee partners. The average grant was $13,653, a 7% increase over last year’s average grant.
And while that in and of itself is something to applaud, what’s equally, if not more deserving of recognition, is the incredible array of capacity-building support LZF is able to provide our grantee partners this and every year.
This year's Awards Ceremony kicked off with the debut of LZF's 30th Anniversary video, celebrating the past three decades of The Lenny Zakim Fund.
