Barr Foundation Racial Justice Analysis
Barr's mission is, “to build a better Boston for all.” In 2007, Barr engaged the Applied Research Center and Philanthropic Initiative for Racial Equity to assess our work to address inequities, especially those related to race. Their report gave us a new frame for thinking about patterns of inequity effecting our mission and how much more intentional we need to be.

Barr Foundation 2007 Grantee Perception Report®
Foundations have few opportunities to receive candid feedback on how well they are serving their constituents. In 2007, Barr engaged The Center for Effective Philanthropy to conduct our second Grantee Perception Report®. Nearly 200 of our grantees shared their feedback—highlighting ways we have been effective, and opportunities to improve.
