“The endowment of the Rappaport Institute will ensure that the city of Boston and Harvard continue to learn from one another,” Menino said, according to a press release from the Kennedy School of Government (KSG), where the institute is housed.
Rappaport announced his gift, which creates a permanent endowment for the institute that bears his name, at Boston City Hall. Outgoing University President Lawrence H. Summers and Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino were present, along with members of Rappaport’s family.
David E. Luberoff, executive director at the Institute, told The Crimson the Rappaport hopes “to leverage the money and also the network that we have created for significant new research opportunities.”
The Institute sponsored a study this year, conducted by Glimp Professor of Economics Edward L. Glaeser, that led to a conference on affordable housing in May.
In the six years since it was founded, the Institute has also offered 12 paid public-service internships. [CORRECTION APPENDED]
