    About Lenny Zakim Fund C/O Dla Piper Llp

    The Lenny Zakim Fund C/o Dla Piper LLP centers its grantmaking on social, economic, and racial justice, with unrestricted support for small grassroots nonprofits in eastern Massachusetts. Its active program, LZF Grants: Growing the Grassroots, offers annual general operating grants that can be renewed for up to five years, signaling a longer-term approach to community-based organizations serving historically marginalized, underserved, or under-resourced communities. Recent grants show that this approach is not limited to a single issue area: the fund has backed groups such as Building Bridges Through Music in Lynn for general operating support and Centro Comunitario De Trabajadores in New Bedford for the same purpose. The fund also supports organizations working across immigrant, youth, health, civil rights, and criminal justice contexts, while keeping the emphasis on flexible core funding rather than project-only awards. The recent record shows repeat support for some grantees across years, including Codesquad in Somerville and We Are Better Together - the Warren Daniel Hairston Project in Roxbury, which points to ongoing relationships rather than one-time transactions.

    What Lenny Zakim Fund C/O Dla Piper Llp Funds

    In access to food, housing, and economic opportunity, the fund gave general operating support to Centro Comunitario De Trabajadores in New Bedford, a recent award that sits within its eastern Massachusetts grassroots program. For child and youth development, it supported Codesquad in Somerville and My Brother's Keeper 617 in North Easton, both as general operating grants. Community-based advocacy also appears in awards to Somali Parents Advocacy Ctr for Education in Boston and Chinese Culture Connection in Malden, reflecting support for organizations serving specific communities. The fund’s stated focus areas also include health promotion, immigrants and refugees, LGBTQIA community support and organizing, violence prevention, and criminal justice reform and family outreach, and the recent grants list includes groups aligned with those areas through general operating support rather than restricted project funding.

    How Lenny Zakim Fund C/O Dla Piper Llp Gives

    The typical grant size is tightly clustered: p25 is $10,000, the median is $10,000, and p75 is $15,000. The recent grants list also shows repeated support to the same organizations across years, including Codesquad and Somali Parents Advocacy Ctr for Education, which suggests multi-year relationships. The fund is a regular funder, not a donor-advised fund, and it gives unrestricted general operating support through an annual grant program. That program accepts unsolicited applications and can renew awards for up to five years.
