The Boston Foundation is a major philanthropic funder, very supportive of the Boston-based after-school ventures, which have a meta-structure of support, of sorts, called After School & Beyond. Wellesley conducts research on existing program viability and needs, and I think After School & Beyond works with Wellesley on that, but I need to refresh my memory on that.
