Initiatives

Nourishing Kids Initiative

Combatting hunger and promoting access to healthy food has always been a priority of our work at Eos. Our Nourishing Kids Initiative is a multi-year effort to combat childhood hunger by increasing access to, and consumption of, nutritious food for low-income children where they live, learn, and play. Increasing school breakfast participation is our first funding focus.

We are soliciting proposals from school districts in Massachusetts' Gateway Cities; Eos may invite selected other communities with high percentages of low- income children to apply. The following links will enable you to download all RFP-related files and templates:

Boston Rising

Boston Rising is an initiative of the Eos Foundation. Our investments focus on breaking the cycle of poverty by tackling the wealth gap. One of our main areas of focus in tackling the wealth gap will be on asset development strategies such as college savings accounts, and individual development accounts, among others. The primary focus is a multi year, multi million dollar commitment to the Grove Hall neighborhood in Boston.
