The Recipients | Additional Examples
The following exemplify some of the organizations whose care and dedication we support:
Boys & Girls Club and YMCA at the Alfond Youth Center—Waterville, ME
The mission of the Alfond Youth Center is to inspire and enable all young people and their families, especially those from disadvantaged circumstances, to realize their full potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens. The Waterville facility reaches out to neighboring communities in Maine, including Skowhegan and Norway. For the past three years the Foundation has supported several fitness and healthy lifestyle programs. More recently, the New Balance Foundation made a multi-year commitment to the Center in support of its development of Camp Tracy as a year-round campus and its advancement of after-school programming and meal services.

On June 20, 1969, the New England Aquarium opened its doors to the public for the first time. The Aquarium was designed with the intention of providing a cultural institution that would reconnect Boston to its waterfront. Since 1999, the New Balance Foundation has been a lead donor for “Harbor Discoveries,” a Boston-based inner-city youth program. The Foundation supports scholarships for those who might otherwise be unable to afford such an experience.
