The 10 Elm Foundation
The 10 Elm Foundation was established in 2020 to raise funds for the construction of Boxford’s Center at 10 Elm: a joint Community and Senior center. Once the building was completed in 2023 the town found itself struggling to build support for the new Community Center. The 10 Elm Foundation filled that void. Our mission had to evolve to provide and fund community programming and events for all Boxford residents. The 10 Elm Foundation has worked to establish new relationships in the community and serve the community as a whole.
Our board is made up of members from throughout the community – young parents and grandparents and everyone in between. We are all united in our belief that the Center at 10 Elm act as a hub for social connection, providing a space for people of all ages to gather, participate in activities, access educational opportunities, promote health and wellness, and overall build a stronger sense of community and belonging in Boxford.
