St. Botolph Club Foundation

“The st. Botolph club foundation was originally created by declaration of trust dated june 30, 1967 for the purposes of encouragement of the creative arts and to make grants to new england artists such as writers, composers, sculptors, and others to assist them in carrying out their creative efforts and related purposes. On april 10, 2014, the trustees of st. Botolph club foundation restated its governing instrument by adopting a restatement of declaration of trust to add to its original purposes a provision allowing the trustees to preserve and protect the historic exterior and other decorative and architectural elements of the property located at 199 commonwealth avenue and its collection of art works to perpetuate the education of posterity regarding the architectural, historic, and general cultural heritage of the st. Botolph club and with regard to other properties in the historic district known as the back bay area of boston for the benefit of the community. The foundation will continue to engage in fundraising and support for the arts consistent with its original purposes and to also fundraise and support the preservation of the historic property in which the st. Botolph club is located and, to the extent funds are available, other similar such properties in the area. Bylaws implementing certain procedural matters such as the appointment of trustees were also adopted by the trustees simultaneous with the adoption of the restatement of the trust.”
