The New Commonwealth fund â launched by Black and brown Boston business executives to eliminate systemic racism â has scored another big donation: $1 million from Robert Kraft.
It is the largest donation from an individual to a fund that has raised nearly $30 million since July, largely from Boston-area corporations and their foundations. Kraft, owner of the New England Patriots, hopes his donation during Black History Month will spur others to make substantial contributions to the fund.
