About All Points North Foundation:

All Points North Foundation is dedicated to navigating communities upward. All Points North Foundation was founded by a family who strongly believes that everyone has a true “North” — a place of achievement. They feel that everyone should be given equal opportunity and access to realize their goals. Established in 2011 in Boston, All Points North Foundation is a small, private foundation that supports two distinct priorities in the United States: public middle school education (grade 6-8) and solar energy.
