The Committee gives special consideration to the benefit of the potential award on the youth\, senior citizens\, and the needy in the Allston and Brighton neighborhoods. Beautification projects are also encouraged. \nThe Fund was established by the late Mayor of Boston\, Thomas M. Menino and former Boston College President\, Rev. J. Donald Monan. The President of the College\, Reverend William P. Leahy and the Honorable Michelle Wu\, Mayor of Boston continue to support this cooperative effort between Boston College and representatives of Allston and Brighton. \nThe purpose of the awards is to supplement existing budgets of established organizations and agencies in order to promote a program or service for which financial support is not otherwise available. The Fund Committee also considers and makes awards to independent groups who present a worthy proposal or sponsor a worthwhile event. \nThe Fund aims to create good will and harmony among the people of Allston and Brighton\, and seeks to improve the physical appearance of the neighborhood. It is expected that both goals will enhance the quality of life of the neighborhood. A particular impact of the Fund and its activities is the fostering of an improved and beneficial relationship between the people of Allston\, Brighton and Boston College. \nInterested groups may apply for funding either during the fall or spring cycle. \nPlease Note:  Only one grant per group or agency will be awarded per year.  \nFall 2025 Grant Recipients\nFor the Fall 2025 cycle of the Allston Brighton/Boston College Communty Fund a total of $38\,521 was distributed to the following 13 organizations: \n\nAction for Boston Community Development\, Inc.
