Relationship Grants
Relationship Grants
Since 2001, the Brown Rudnick Charitable Foundation has awarded annual Relationship Grants to tax-exempt organizations for programs designed to improve inner-city education in a location where Brown Rudnick has offices. These annual grants seek to improve inner-city education by forming a relationship with a non-profit organization that optimally includes providing financial support, and a deeper connection through pro bono legal representation and/or volunteering or other interaction between the Foundation and the grantee.
Grantees are selected annually based upon a rigorous review of grant applications. These grants have helped to launch, sustain and grow scores of successful programs and organizations over the years.
