Details:
The Cambridge Community Foundation sees finding and fostering the next generation of social innovators as part of its core mission to support a robust non-profit sector.
The Cambridge Community Foundation was one of the first community foundations in the nation, established to make a difference in the lives of Cambridge residents. Created in 1916 to serve as a vehicle for local giving and to address local needs, the Foundation has expanded its commitment to the power of philanthropy and to civic leadership over the past century.
Today Cambridge stands as an epicentre of a global innovation economy. Yet many residents continue to struggle, and there are unintended consequences of growth: escalating real estate costs, increases in evictions and homelessness, and loss of the middle class. Too many youth grow up ill equipped to thrive in the very economy that drives the city and the region.
Through this annual Award cycle, the Foundation and its Award judges seek out innovators with creative, light-touch ideas that inspire new models for improving the quality of life for people in Cambridge—and hopefully the broader world.
The Foundation is looking for original ideas that exhibit creativity, daring, and ambition—programs that can be implemented with small resources to create big impact.
