Mission & Focus Areas

The filing refers to Schedule O for the organization’s stated mission. Its program descriptions identify instruction—including coursework and scholarships and fellowships—as a major activity. Other described activities include auxiliary services and student services and academic support. In the 2023 filing, Boston College reported 15,234 enrollments and 4,482 degrees conferred; it also described operating residence halls, dining facilities, athletic teams, and library facilities.

Boston College’s 2017 strategic plan called for re-envisioning liberal arts education, strengthening student formation, expanding scholarship and research, and increasing the university’s presence and impact. The plan described research as addressing complex societal problems and contributing to the common good, with a particular focus on the sciences.

The 2025 filing’s listed grants show support to universities, research organizations, a policy institute, a health center, and other organizations. The grantees’ own descriptions provide examples of their work: Tulane’s stated mission includes higher education, research, and public service; the Urban Institute describes itself as a nonprofit research organization focused on evidence and solutions for communities; and NeighborHealth describes a mission of providing accessible, person-centered health care in its service area.
