Our Partners

Community of Collaborators

Big Sister Boston is able to offer the depth of programs and activities that we do thanks to our partnerships throughout Greater Boston. From major funders, to academic institutions, to community organizations, we are proud to be supported by a community of partners who are invested in girls.

“I am awed by how much Big Sister is able to accomplish. Their program changes girls’ lives and they are exceptional at keeping organizations, partners, and benefactors informed and engaged.”

-Neil McCullagh, Director of the Corcoran Center for Real Estate and Urban Action; Executive Director, The American City Coalition

Featured Partner

Each year we recognize a Partner of the Year: a business, community organization, or civic entity who has collaborated with us in varied and unique ways to invest in Greater Boston’s girls.

Fidelity Investments

Fidelity Investments was chosen as our Partner of the Year because of its steadfast commitment to our Workplace Mentoring program, support of Big Sister Boston’s fiscal and strategic oversight through Board leadership, and the sustainable impact created by its annual philanthropic contributions.

In 2017, Fidelity became one of the first companies to engage their employees in our Workplace Mentoring Program in which they are partnered with Little Sisters from Boston Latin Academy. The program provides the opportunity for employees to become a Big Sister and meet with their Little Sister during the workday; an opportunity that may not have otherwise fit in their schedule. The mission and goals of Big Sister Boston immediately resonated with Fidelity associates who were eager to participate. “Fidelity recognizes the importance of giving back to the community, and the Workplace Mentoring program allows associates to become involved,” said Michele Robinson, Program Manager, Talent Acquistion.
