Unpacking the Report: LGBTQ+ People in Massachusetts

The Future with Leadership Brainery Founders

Get ready for a powerful Pride Month edition of The Future with Leadership Brainery Founders at the Museum of Science, Boston. This special conversation will unpack the findings from the newly released 2025 report, LGBTQ+ People in Massachusetts, a groundbreaking collaboration between The Boston Foundation and Fenway Health.

This discussion will explore how we can translate data into action, transform systems, and create a more equitable Commonwealth — for the future and beyond. Click here to learn more and register.
