There's nothing quite like the sound of live jazz floating through the trees on a warm summer evening. Last month, that exact scene came to life in the heart of the Fenway, thanks to the wonderful work of the Friends of Ramler Park, Inc. and a grant from Mission Hill Fenway Neighborhood Trust.
We were proud to support their "Jazz Concert in Ramler Park" as part of our ongoing commitment to enriching our community through arts and culture. The August evening was a perfect blend of fantastic music, great company, and a beautiful setting—a true testament to the vibrant spirit of our neighborhood.
We were especially thrilled that one of our board members, Ed Ballo, was able to join the festivities and capture these wonderful moments.
This event is a perfect example of how MHFNT funding helps create accessible, high-quality experiences right here in our community. - Monjuree, Sep 2, 2025

Fenway Alliance
We are thrilled to share the incredible impact of our grant to the Fenway Alliance, supporting the YMCA Huntington Avenue Teen Stage at the 2024 Opening Our Doors festival. What began as a pilot program has now blossomed into a permanent part of the YMCA’s teen curriculum, empowering young voices and fostering creativity.
This year, the teens presented their exciting plans for the 2025 festival, showcasing the program’s growth and sustainability—all made possible by MHFNT’s seed funding. A huge thank you to the Fenway Alliance and the YMCA for their dedication to our community’s youth. Together, we’re building opportunities that last! - Monjuree 2025
Operation P.E.A.C.E.
Last year, with funding from MHFNT, Operation P.E.A.C.E. organized a delightful trip for local seniors to Plymouth, MA. The group enjoyed a day of history, fresh air, and camaraderie, creating wonderful memories together.
We’re thrilled to share these happy moments from their outing. Thank you to everyone who made this possible, and to Operation P.E.A.C.E. for their dedication to our community. Small acts of kindness bring big smiles! - Monjuree 2025
