Why We Exist
Nonprofits hold immense potential to alleviate persistent inequities in Greater Boston. However, challenges exist in the way these organizations are funded. Currently, eighty-six percent of philanthropic dollars in Massachusetts go to the largest one percent of nonprofits. Additional capacity-building supports do not fully align with the true needs of nonprofits. This leaves many Commonwealth nonprofits, who are doing exceptional work without access to much needed resources.
Next Level plays a vital role in addressing this gap by providing highly customized, easily accessible strategic guidance and financial support to a carefully selected portfolio of high impact nonprofits.
What we do
Next Level Social Impact leverages the creativity, passion, and innovation in the Greater Boston community by elevating the best homegrown solutions so that they can more widely serve our local communities. We do this by listening intently to our leaders, removing the red tape, and investing time and funds.

- Invests in organizational growth through multi-year financial support ($150,000 minimum per nonprofit)
