- City of Boston SNAP Benefits Alert for November 2025: bit.ly/4nCOkRw
- The Governor's MA Resource Page on SNAP benefits: bit.ly/434boRQ

In Boston, true leadership looks like a steadfast commitment to caring for every person who calls MA home and compassion for our neighbors — demonstrated by the hundreds of donors and counting who have contributed directly to this fund since Friday. Join us by donating at www.tbf.org/SNAP

We're also so pleased to see MassLive's coverage highlight The Pryde, a TBF grantee partner and an exceptional example of this process in action creating not just housing but building community. We look forward to many more projects like The Pryde around the city under this new ordinance!

It is a real step towards easing the region's ongoing housing crisis and a milestone achievement for thoughtfully informed public policy backed by research and centered on community needs.

Interested nonprofit leaders can submit a clinic slot request via this form: bit.ly/484EiER

This clinic is designed to help MA nonprofits, especially leaders in Executive Director, Board, HR, Program, Comms, and Grant Writing roles, with questions they may have about their own org-specific circumstances for navigating legal compliance to actions by the current federal administration.
