Discover Roxbury, a nonprofit organization whose goal is to prevent financial deterioration through civic pride and historical awareness, is being granted a matching contribution for new or increased pledges of up to $10,000.
The grantor is the Lenny Zakim Fund, which is a charity dedicated to supporting non-profit organizations who are especially dedicated to overcoming bigotry, but who may not be large enough to secure federal or state funding.
Discover Roxbury will be hosting the annual Governor’s Tea on June 14 at the Shirley-Eustice House. The event will feature a re-enactment of an abolitionists’ meeting in homage to the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation.
