Advancement Plus, a private foundation, believes that providing a quality education to all children is vital to the future prosperity of the United States, both as a social justice issue and an economic issue. We work with organizations striving to achieve this ideal in Boston; both those working in the policy arena and those engaged in the day-to-day work of helping children graduate from the Boston Public Schools and go on to successful college careers. We also work with organizations outside of the education arena that are seeking to improve the lives of Boston's disadvantaged residents. We support the mission of all these organizations by doing specific projects and other work requested by them to enhance their ability to achieve their goals and to provide the best results possible to their clients.
