NYEM: Announcing First Legacy Gift Grants!

Fellows work full-time at local nonprofits, engaging in social justice through a faith perspective, while receiving spiritual nurturing by local Friends. This grant supports the first year of the Boston program, launched September 2015. Friends Meeting at Cambridge is the host meeting, in collaboration with five local monthly meetings. Grant: $10,000
