About Imago Dei Fund C/O Berkshire Partners
Imago Dei Fund C/o Berkshire Partners makes multi-year, unrestricted grants centered on the rights, needs, and agency of women and girls, with faith-informed and community-driven approaches running through the portfolio. Recent grants show a mix of large general-use awards to organizations working on gender justice, humanitarian response, and community development, alongside support for partners in Greater Boston and abroad. The fund’s largest recent grant listed here is $769,206 to Other Grants in Boston for general use, and the next tier includes $500,500 to Beyond Borders and $500,000 to World Relief Corporation, both also for general use. That pattern suggests a funder comfortable making sizable flexible grants rather than narrowly designated project awards. The recent slate also includes repeated support for organizations such as Tearfund, World Vision, and Tostan, indicating that some partners receive funding across multiple years. Across the portfolio, the emphasis remains on restoring wholeness and addressing the deeper roots of gender-based injustice, with grants appearing to support both established organizations and local partners.

It also awarded $250,000 to Tostan for general use, a grant that fits the fund’s broader interest in community-driven change and dignity-centered development. Environmental stewardship appears alongside social justice in the grant list: $300,000 went to Floresta USA Inc (plant With Purpose) for general use, and $260,000 went to African Road for general use. The fund also supports education and youth-related work through grants such as $333,334 to Young Life and $200,000 to Veritas Forum, both for general use. These awards show a cross-sector strategy that combines gender equity, community development, and faith-informed partnership.
