The Boston Arts Academy Foundation is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that was established in 1999 to raise essential funds for Boston Arts Academy, the city's only public high school for the visual and performing arts. BAA Foundation bridges the annual funding gap between the school’s allocation from the Boston Public Schools and the true cost of a high-quality education that is both arts-intensive and college preparatory. Support from foundations, corporations, and individual donors is critical to the school’s ability to offer a comprehensive arts and academic education.
