About Corey C. Griffin Foundation
Created to honor the memory and legacy of Corey C. Griffin who passed away in 2014, the Corey C. Griffin Foundation (Foundation), has served and raised over $40M for Boston’s nonprofits over the last ten years. Given Corey’s passion for life and dedication to philanthropy, the Foundation partners with Boston’s innovative nonprofits focused on serving youth from under-resourced communities as well as those with medical challenges, as well as partnering on faith-based initiatives. Through high-impact partnerships, the Foundation provides critical opportunities for Corey’s Kids and builds upon Corey’s legacy of giving back and encourages others to do the same.
Corey’s Kids is aimed at providing and making a transformational impact on kids at crucial times in their lives. The three main areas of focus include:
Additionally, the Foundation launched its first-ever Emerging Leaders Council in 2022. The Council is composed of up-and-coming professionals who serve as strategic volunteers for the Foundation. The Emerging Leaders Council aims to systematically empower and inspire the next generation of Boston’s philanthropists guiding them to transform passion into impact.
Over the next few years, the Foundation will be building upon its past success by deepening its grantmaking efforts, honoring its 11th anniversary, and launching a multimillion-dollar fundraising campaign to ultimately allow the Foundation to double its community grantmaking. In 2023, the Foundation embarked on its first strategic planning process and has identified key pillars and areas of impact over the next three years; financial, social, human, and physical. Committed to building upon its success, the Foundation looks to ensure the long-term sustainability of its grantmaking programs to continue to impact the lives of thousands of Boston’s youth.
Located in Braintree, MA, the Foundation is hybrid and in the office two times a week.
