What United Nations Association Of Greater Boston, Inc does

United Nations Association of Greater Boston (UNAGB) is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and the local Boston-area chapter of the United Nations Association of the United States of America (UNA-USA). Founded in 1974, UNAGB operates from 200 Portland Street, Ste 500, Boston, and delivers diplomatic and global-affairs education to a multigenerational community, reaching over 7,000 people annually. Its core products center on Model UN programming for middle and high school students, including one-day and multi-day conferences (GBMUN, MSMUN, DIMUN), a Summer Institute in Global Leadership portfolio spanning themes such as Human Rights, Climate Summit, International Security, Global Health, Women in Leadership, Emerging Technologies, and Crisis-Style Simulations, plus in-classroom curriculum support. Adult-facing offerings include the SDG Perspective Series, UN Day Luncheon, Global Women's Forum, and the Global Citizens Gala. Underlying infrastructure is a conventional web/CRM stack (NeonCRM, WordPress, social channels) with no proprietary technology platform beyond curriculum assets aligned to authentic UN committee procedures and crisis-style simulation methodologies.

Revenue is generated through four streams: program fees (Summer Institute at $660-$825 per student per week, conference delegate fees at $90 standard or $35 reduced for schools with 33%+ low-income students, $100 team registration), donations including the $1,000+ Charter Circle, corporate sponsorships for events like the UN Day Luncheon, and UNA-USA membership dues routed through the national chapter. Go-to-market is community-led: youth are reached via school partnerships and teacher referrals; adults via events, membership, and donations; corporate partners via sponsorship tiers. UNAGB operates within Greater Boston and the broader New England region and maintains strategic venue and co-programming partnerships with Northeastern University, Tufts Fletcher School, Suffolk University Law School, MIT Sloan, Harvard, and Hult International Business School.
