About the Foundation
For the last nine years, Corey C. Griffin Foundation (created to honor the memory and legacy of Corey C. Griffin who passed away in 2014) has experienced incredible success and growth. This success would not have been possible without the hard work of its dedicated board of directors, its inspiring grantees and nonprofit partners, and the hundreds of Foundation volunteers and donors.
Since its inception, the Foundation has raised over $24M for Bostons nonprofits. The Foundation partners with Bostons most innovative nonprofits focused on youth from under-resourced communities as well as those with medical challenges. Through high-impact partnerships with leading academic and healthcare organizations, the Foundation provides critical opportunities for Coreys Kids and builds upon Corey Griffins legacy of giving back while encouraging others to do the same.
Over the next few years, the Foundation will be building upon its past success by deepening its grantmaking efforts, honoring its 10th anniversary, and launching a multimillion-dollar fundraising campaign to ultimately allow the Foundation to double its community grantmaking.
