Cambridge Community Foundation

The Cambridge Community Foundation (CCF) is the local giving platform, supporting our city's shared prosperity, social equity, and enduring cultural richness, with roots that go a century deep. Established in 1916, CCF is a 501(c)3 public charity whose vision is a vibrant, diverse and inclusive Cambridge with a culture of giving and opportunity for all. 

Our work focuses on three pillars of activity.

• Create an inclusive vision and agenda for shared prosperity through grantmaking, civic leadership, and philanthropy;
• Build a permanent endowment to serve the city today and protect its future;
• Expand the capacity for civic leadership with a sustained focus on equity, justice and opportunity.

CCF makes grants exceeding $4.3 million annually. CCF passionately believes in the power of philanthropy to change lives and build a stronger community. A foundation OF and FOR the community, and the only community foundation in Cambridge, the CCF is committed to supporting equity and shared prosperity in our city.
