About
The Cambridge Community Foundation's Cambridge WINS sports equity sponsorships recognize and celebrate organizations that strengthen belonging and social cohesion in Cambridge through youth sports summer programming.
We believe sports are a great equalizer. We strive to support organizations and coaches that are making a significant impact by providing sports opportunities for all Cambridge youth, including those who face barriers to access due to financial or other constraints. Sponsorships range from $500 to $1,000. CCF also sponsors Cambridge little leagues through its events sponsorship program.
Seek sponsorship
The 2026 sponsorship application is open. Summer sports organizations and coaches interested in CCF's Cambridge WINS sponsorships can apply now through June 17. Apply here.
Review process
Cambridge WINS sponsorship decisions are made by a volunteer advisory committee, which includes long-time coaches, Cambridge recreation staff, and civic leaders committed to supporting youth sports opportunities. Groups will be notified of sponsorship decisions in June. Save the date! CCF will be hosting a field day for Cambridge WINS groups on Friday, August 14, 2026.
CCF is grateful for donors who provided support to Cambridge WINS sponsorships in 2026, including Trinity Property Management, Inc.
Cambridge WINS history
Cambridge WINS was founded in spring of 2022 with advisors Matt Meyersohn and Joe Bradlee, Cambridge natives and sports enthusiasts, to support youth sports nonprofit organizations and coaches serving Cambridge youth who face barriers to access. To date, CCF has distributed $50,000 to 40 groups and individuals providing equitable access to summer sports.
