Better information benefits everyone, but it begins with you.

With this current report, we are able to:

• Feature giving trends among the Massachusetts-based community;
• Identify funding gaps within the region and understand where to focus efforts;
• Provide exclusive access to resources, including a dashboard and interactive map to learn about Massachusetts’ giving priorities, trends and strategies; and
• Present concrete data to public officials to inform systemic-level change

The Giving Massachusetts Report 2020 includes summary statistics on the Massachusetts foundation community by grantmaker type and county; trend information on changes in Massachusetts foundation number, assets, and giving since 2007 and comparisons of changes with U.S. foundations overall; lists of top funders; and text boxes featuring information on Massachusetts public foundations, individual giving in Massachusetts, and Massachusetts state government spending.
