Thank you to The Lenny Zakim Fund for your continued work to help non-profits flourish ✨️
At The Lenny Zakim Fund, we have been thinking deeply about what it truly means to stand with our grantee partners in this moment. Through conversations, surveys, and learning efforts over the past year, one sentiment rose to the surface again and again. As one partner described it, “I don’t just feel supported by LZF—I feel held.”
That sense of being “held” is at the heart of our work.
To be held is to know that someone is walking alongside you—not only when things are going well, but when the work is hard, uncertain, and evolving. It means being seen for the full scope of your mission and the realities you face. Our grantee partners have told us that what distinguishes LZF is the depth of our relationships—that we take the time to truly understand their work, their communities, and their long-term vision.
Thank you for standing with The Lenny Zakim Fund and with the grassroots leaders who are shaping a more just and equitable future. We look forward to continuing this work together in 2026.
