Bruner Foundation

Established in 1963 and based in Cambridge, MA, the Bruner Foundation seeks to create opportunity and instigate meaningful social change. The Rudy Bruner Award for Urban Excellence (RBA), created in 1987, is a biennial award that celebrates transformative places distinguished by physical design and their social, economic, and contextual contributions to our nation’s cities. The organization shares information and advances national dialogue about urban placemaking through the Bruner-Loeb Forum, hosted in partnership with Harvard’s Loeb Fellowship and sponsors working in cities across the nation.
