About this event

Join us for the fifth annual LISC Story Slam, an evening of storytelling to lift up community voices, celebrate our recent achievements, and cheer on our future vision to forge resilient and inclusive communities of opportunity across Massachusetts.

Meet LISC Boston’s new Executive Director, Gustavo Quiroga, connect with community development & business leaders, hear from Honored Guests, and enjoy great food from local chefs.

The theme of this year’s event is Common Wealth, a nod to an exciting announcement we’ll be making about our expanding strategic focus across the state.

Story Slam is a unique event that breaks the mold of traditional fundraisers. We share the impact of our work through the powerful words of the event’s community storytellers in a format inspired by poetry slams and “The Moth” podcast.

Four community and program partners will take the stage for 3-5 minutes each to tell a true, personal story that offer perspectives on the meaning of our Common Wealth theme ­and how it relates to LISC’s work creating more affordable housing, growing an equitable economy for all, and preparing communities and public housing for our climate and energy future across Massachusetts.

Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) equips communities with the capital, strategy, and know-how to become places where people can thrive. Working with local leaders, we invest in affordable housing, health, education, public safety and employment – all basic needs that must be tackled so that progress in one area is not undermined by neglect in another.

As part of a national organization with deep local roots, LISC Boston is uniquely positioned to share resources, best practices, and innovations with the communities we serve. We provide funding, financing, and technical assistance to community development corporations (CDCs), nonprofit developers, grassroots organizations, as well as policy and advocacy organizations throughout Massachusetts.
