OUR COMMITMENT
MAKING GOOD
We’re the foundation of and for all of Cambridge.
We’ve made it our mission to make good on making good. We’ve pledged ourselves to making economic mobility attainable, social cohesion achievable, and collective action possible. It’s a promise we made 110 years ago. And, one we’ll keep for 1,000 more. Because at its core, that’s what community is. An enduring promise.
To look out for one another. Stand up for one another. Be good to one another. A promise to make good now so we can make tomorrow even better.
The Challenge
- 1 in 3 people is food insecure
- A family of four needs $130,000/year to be economically stable
- 40% of households make <$75,000/year
- 1 in 3 people is food insecure
Our Strategic Plan
Where social cohesion exists, economic mobility thrives.
The two pillars of our plan are inextricably linked. To advance economic mobility, we must support one another; to have social cohesion, we must create a path forward for the most vulnerable among us.
We’re committed to thinking big and pursuing bold, innovative ideas to solve our city’s most pressing problems.
