Clerge & Labossiere Foundation

The Edward W. Hazen Foundation, established in 1925, was a private foundation dedicated to supporting the organizing and leadership of young people and communities of color in dismantling structural inequity based on race and class. The foundation focused on organizations embedded in communities and grounded in the experiences of young people of color, aiming to transform their living conditions and build a movement for social justice. In 2024, the Edward W. Hazen Foundation closed and ceased its grant-making activities, having moved all its assets to support communities creating change. Its final offering, "Reevaluating Practice: Reimagining Philanthropy," provided recommendations from grassroots organizers to help funders build effective and sustainable partnerships for social justice movements.
