"There is no project in which Historic Boston has invested money that would, at the time we made the investment, have met any conventional underwriting criteria for risk. As a nonprofit, it should not be competing with commercial developers.

As members of a preservation organization we have to ask ourselves three additional questions about risks: (1) Can the city afford to lose this resource? (2) Can we use our nonprofit status to obtain grants and gifts to subsidize the project? (3) Can we survive if we bet the farm on this project?"

Stanley M. Smith (Executive Director, 1982-2004)
