Evaluation
Barr Foundation Racial Justice Analysis
Barr's mission is, “to build a better Boston for all.” In 2007, Barr engaged the Applied Research Center and Philanthropic Initiative for Racial Equity to assess our work to address inequities, especially those related to race. Their report gave us a new frame for thinking about patterns of inequity effecting our mission and how much more intentional we need to be.
