Charlesview, Inc. is pleased to announce the launch of a new charitable fund, The Rabbi Abraham Halbfinger and Charlesview Charitable Fund, named in memory of a founding board director. Inspired by the shared values and long-term commitment and collaboration among Charlesview Inc.’s managing congregations − Congregation Kadimah Toras-Moshe, St. Anthony’s Roman Catholic Church and Brighton Community United Methodist Church − the Fund was conceived to help organizations’ efforts to make the Allston-Brighton community a thriving neighborhood where opportunity abounds for all residents. The Fund will complement other community efforts to provide additional resources to nonprofits helping individuals and families living in Allston-Brighton to achieve their dreams.

The Rabbi Abraham Halbfinger and Charlesview Charitable Fund will provide support in four core areas: Education, Health/Nutrition, Housing/Shelter and Workforce/Asset Development. It will give priority to organizations and  their projects that are significantly expanding services, need support in leveraging other resources to provide improved services, or require seed funding to launch a new innovation. All proposed services must specifically and primarily serve the Allston-Brighton community.

For more information, please see the guidelines at the Rabbi Abraham Halbfinger and Charlesview Charitable Fund page.
