Boston500.com Community Commitment
At Boston500.com, we believe a successful local platform should contribute meaningfully to the community it serves.
Boston and Greater Boston have shaped generations of students, workers, entrepreneurs, researchers, immigrants, families, and dreamers from around the world. Boston500.com is being built with gratitude toward this extraordinary region and its people.
As part of our long-term mission, Boston500.com pledges to channel 50% of website income back into the Greater Boston community through the following initiatives:
Supporting Children & Orphanages — 20%
20% of website income will be donated to Massachusetts state-verified orphanages, children’s homes, and organizations supporting vulnerable children in Greater Boston. This is our top priority pledge. This pledge will be started after we have reached 100 Members (our 100 Founding Members).
Supporting Students & Education — 10%
10% of website income will be used for scholarships and educational support for students in Greater Boston. This pledge will be started after we have reached 300 Members (100 Founding Members + 200 Charter Members).
Supporting Local Youth Internships — 20%
20% of website income will be used to hire and train local youth from Greater Boston for Boston500.com website operations, content development, market research, local business support, and future growth initiatives. This pledge will be started after we have reached 500 Members – a strong foundation for long term work.
Our Long-Term Vision
Boston500.com aims to become much more than a website. We aspire to become a trusted community platform that:
- supports the children and youth of Greater Boston
- support local knowledge and local talent growth
- highlights career opportunities for the youth
- strengthens regional connections,
- encourages education and innovation, and
- contributes positively to the future of Greater Boston.
This pledge ensures that as Boston500.com grows, our commitment to the Greater Boston community will grow along with it, and in the long term, 50% of all our income flows back into the Greater Boston community. Thank you.
