CCF’s grantmaking team is working to facilitate programs and services that address the additional needs of our nonprofit partners; the information you’ve provided in this section of the application informs this work. Please note that these questions are always optional and are not used to make a funding decision.
The report form for all FY24 Community Fund grants (July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024) will be part of the FY25 application. If you do not apply in FY25, our team will reach out to arrange your report.
The level of competitiveness varies each year. In the most recent year, 73% of organizations that applied received grant funding.
Applicants may request up to $25,000 each cycle. Due to the large number of organizations, please note that few grantees receive their full request amount. In FY24, the median grant amount was $5,000 and the average grant amount was $7,136.
Your organization may apply if it meets the following eligibility criteria: Have an active 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status or a fiscal sponsor Submit no more than 1 application each cycle Serve people who live in or rely on Cambridge Please note that the Community Fund does not make grants for any of the following purposes: Endowment campaigns Capital improvement campaigns Reimbursement for events or activities that take place outside the grant period
The FY25 application will remain largely the same as the FY24 application. The question list will be available for preview on October 28, 2024.
