Joshua 'Josh' Kraft is the President of the New England Patriots Foundation and former CEO of Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston; son of Robert Kraft. He has emerged as a prominent civic leader in Boston, leveraging his family's prominence to advance nonprofit causes and community initiatives. Beyond his core roles, he has been actively involved in local advocacy, using social media platforms like Instagram (@joshkraftboston), X (@JoshKraftBoston), and Facebook to highlight issues such as public safety, neighborhood revitalization, and urban challenges in Boston's unique communities. In January 2021, Kraft launched an exploratory committee for a potential run for Mayor of Boston, campaigning on priorities including affordable housing, education reform, public safety, and economic opportunity; he suspended his bid in October 2021, endorsing Michelle Wu, who won the election. This political foray underscored his passion for Boston, positioning him as a bridge between philanthropy and public service, though he has since focused on nonprofit work.
