How We Work

Approach

The Eos Foundation invests in three types of initiatives:

Direct Service Programs

Historically, much of the Eos Foundation's portfolio has been dedicated to organizations providing direct service to individuals in need. While we will continue to make grants to direct service organizations, we now plan to emphasize grantmaking with the goal of systems change, particularly in Massachusetts.

Public Policies and Systemic Solutions

To give direct service organizations and programs the best chance of success, Eos plans to increase our investment in systems change efforts, which may include public policy initiatives and creative solutions to regulatory and market failures.

Promoting Philanthropy Across the Commonwealth

Eos is committed to leveraging every dollar we invest. We are working to drive awareness and build partnerships to expand the number of philanthropic dollars invested in alleviating poverty.
