Grantees may request to reserve space in Barr’s offices at 2 Atlantic Avenue for meetings and events.

How do I request to use a space?

• Reach out to your program officer via email. Include details like: event time and date, preferred room setup (roundtable discussion, panel presentation, etc), number of attendees, catering needs, and accessibility needs. They will help you determine which space is best for your needs.

Remember:

• Spaces are reserved on a first-come, first-served basis, so reach out early!

• Per the IRS, the Barr Foundation is prohibited from engaging in or using its resources for lobbying or political activities. This includes the use of our facilities. As a result, we cannot accommodate events that include lobbying, political activities, or fundraising. 

North End Conference Room

The North End Conference Room has flexible seating options to suit a variety of event types. This room is the primary space for grantee events and meetings at Barr. Depending on the layout, the North End can accommodate as many as 50 guests.

There are two large TV screens for presentations, audio throughout the room, a podium, lapel and handheld microphones, moveable flipcharts and whiteboards, and an adjoining kitchen for catering (including dishware and glassware).

There is also a nearby meeting room (The Hub) that can be used for staging, hybrid meetings, or breakout sessions.
