Established in 1916 with the charter to serve the city of Cambridge, the Cambridge Community Foundation is a 501(c)3 public charity. As the local giving platform for Cambridge, the Cambridge Community Foundation (CCF) supports the city’s shared prosperity, social equity and enduring cultural richness, with roots that go a century deep. We strive to deeply connect sectors across the community, to highlight emerging and critical needs, and catalyze efforts -- through advancing philanthropy, grant making, and civic engagement -- to ensure resources are focused where they can make the greatest difference.

The Friends of CLC are delighted to announce an award of $15,000 from the Cambridge Community Foundation. The grant will support a portion of the salary of a coach for Bridge to College, our highly effective one-year college preparation program.

Adults with low-literacy or limited English proficiency and the teachers who support them are often overlooked by traditional education systems. At First Literacy, we see you.
