Allston-Brighton Community Fund
A Brief History
In 2019, the Brighton Allston Improvement Association (BAIA) – a civic group dedicated to the betterment of the Brighton and Allston Communities - worked with Clear Channel to establish a community development agreement that facilitates the provision of critical funding to benefit nonprofit organizations in our local community..
Since 2020, the Allston Brighton Community Fund (AB Fund) has benefited 40 organizations with over $225,000 in funding. Brighton Marine salutes the passion and dedication of the BAIA committee members who worked so tirelessly to make the Allston Brighton Community Fund a reality.
