Lenny Zakim Fund

In addition to our direct, hands-on initiatives the Sager Family Traveling Foundation and Roadshow teams with various partners to sponsor and support existing initiatives aimed at impacting leaders, taking concrete baby steps, and spreading hope. One such initiative is the Lenny Zakim Fund and Lenny Zakim Fund Institute.

Based on the vision of founder Lenny Zakim (1953-1999) that any one person can change the world, the Lenny Zakim Fund (www.thelennyzakimfund.org) seeks to identify, listen to, support, and connect grassroots community organizations and programs operating “below the radar screen” of large charitable groups and government grants. The grants range from $1,000 to $15,000 to help these organizations achieve their goals and become role models in their community. Through the Lenny Zakim Fund and the Lenny Zakim Fund Institute, the Sager Family Foundation is making community leaders much more effective by developing skills that will enhance their abilities to make a difference in their communities.
