A Year Later: Boston Marathon Bombing

Today, marks a year since the Boston Marathon bombing that took three people's lives and injured more than 260. Americans responded generously donating to various fundraising appeals, including The One Fund. Now called One Fund Boston, it was established in the days immediately following the bombing to help those most affected by the tragedy. We generally recommend that donors not support brand new charities in a time of crisis. But we recognized that many donors would contribute to One Fund Boston (as evident by the fact that it raised >$4 million within the first 24 hours of its existence).

If you donated to this charity, then now is the time to follow up on that gift and see what One Fund Boston has been able to accomplish. Check out its website, including this report, for more information.

As a 501 (c) (3) organization itself, Charity Navigator depends on public support to help donors make informed choices. Please consider investing in the future of Charity Navigator by making a donation today.  Donate now >>
