Goals

Bohemian Foundation’s responsive grantmaking supports local organizations that work in three goal areas:

Ensuring all youth thrive.

Ensuring all youth thrive means they have access to opportunities to explore, learn, and grow. Our community shares responsibility to provide all youth with what they need and want. We also have a shared responsibility to fulfill the promise of a future shaped by their energy, creativity, imagination, and passion. A community where all youth thrive honors youth voice, creativity, culture, and experience.

Promoting economic stability and mobility.

Economic stability and mobility means having the opportunity to advance economically. It is the dignity that comes from being able to care for ourselves and loved ones. Ensuring prosperity for all means drawing on the strength and resiliency of community members most impacted by economic inequality.

Cultivating a vibrant, engaged, and connected community.

Awareness, engagement, connection, and inspiration are keys to a vibrant community. Awareness about our community requires critical thinking, learning, honest reflection, and a commitment to listen to others. Engagement is our collective work to solve problems and build upon community strengths. In a vibrant community, connected people live in connected spaces. Our community is vibrant when the voices, stories, cultures, creative expressions, and interests of all community members are a source of inspiration, learning, and celebration.
