We are very proud to be one of the organizations supported by Cambridge Community Foundation! It’s an honor for our work in Cambridge to be recognized, along with so many wonderful organizations. In the face of challenging times, the funding we received from CCF this spring is supporting our Cambridge schools. Thank you for helping make this possible Cambridge Community Foundation!

CCF's annual Community Fund is our broadest investment in Cambridge nonprofits, and our widest lens on the city. This spring, 157 organizations received a total of $1.37 million across child and youth development, arts and culture, education, housing, food security, health and wellbeing, economic security, community building, and the environment. That breadth is how we track what's changing in Cambridge and where the need is growing.

It's also a shared investment. Donor-advised fund holders and other local funders expanded what was possible this year by co-investing alongside CCF and contributing 46 percent of this year’s funding pool, allowing us to reach organizations we otherwise couldn't. We're grateful for every person who chose to be part of that.

We built renewal grants and consolidated the Community Fund into one cycle because we wanted the process to embody the values we hold around trust-based philanthropy. Trust runs through every part of this program. Reviewers give their time and knowledge. Nonprofits open their work to outside assessment. Donors invest without directing the outcome. We try to honor all of it—in how we design the application to minimize administrative burden, how we give feedback to applicants, and how we stay present as partners throughout the year.

Congratulations to this year's grantees and thank you to everyone who made this cycle possible. Learn more about our FY26 Community Fund partners in our press release: https://cambridgecf.org/community-fund-2026

Today at Esperanza Elementary School, one of our partner schools in Los Angeles, we had an amazing read aloud event with All-Pro NFL wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown! This joint event with Read to a Child, LAUSD, and the St. Brown Foundation showcased the fun of reading while also highlighting the importance of literacy and perseverance. St. Brown read “The Word Collector” to over 200 4th and 5th graders, and took the time to answer questions!

Thank you to Amon-Ra and the St. Brown Foundation, LAUSD, and our partners at Esperanza Elementary for making this happen!

As National Reading Month comes to a close, we want to share photos from a wonderful read aloud event! On March 18, students at Adler Elementary in our Metro Detroit region got to hear from space scientist Dr. Clark. It was a joyful and inspiring read aloud, with students engaged and Dr. Clark answering questions about everything from space to fighter jets. Thank you Dr. Clark for spending time with our Read Aloud Mentoring Program students!
We also want to thank Board member Dave Walker for his help bringing this opportunity to life, as well as the incredible staff at Adler! We couldn’t have done it without them.
We have an especially big thank you to Metro Detroit partner General Motors! It is with their funding that each student got to bring home a copy of Dr. Clark’s book, “Skyler’s Space Adventures: An Unexpected Encounter. Thank you for being such a great partner!
