3cambridgecf.org2023 Annual ReportCambridge Community FoundationOur LetterCambridge is not immune from the national zeitgeist and the mood of our times. This past year, we watched polarization grow and opportunity gaps widen within our community. We saw aordable housing debates, conﬂicts over bike lanes, a contentious city council election, and ongoing stress on our lowest-income earners.We also saw some bright spots and glimmers of hope. The cash assistance program Rise Up Cambridge is helping to stabilize families living in poverty. Our arts community reﬂects the unique spirit of our city. The nonproﬁt sector continues to tackle food insecurity, educational issues, and mental health. Cambridge possesses a brain trust second to none. Innovation thrives not just in the technology and life-sciences sectors but at the grassroots level, where creative solutions to social problems can unexpectedly emerge.Amid these competing perspectives, we asked ourselves, What is our role as a community foundation in one of the wealthiest, most vibrant, and most desirable cities in the country? How do we represent the community at large and also address the struggles of its most vulnerable residents? Our new strategic plan begins to answer those challenges. In a special section in this report, beginning on page 28, our sta and board members reﬂect on what the plan means to them. We feel it’s important to share their voices with you because they are the thinkers and doers who will be bringing the plan to life. The core ideas, the heart and soul of the plan, can be expressed rather simply. We believe the role of the Foundation is to solve hyperlocal problems through partnerships and community action. We do not hold all the answers, but we can elevate and support the people who are working passionately toward them. To fulﬁll our strategy, we’ve committed to two focus areas over the next ﬁve years. First, to strengthen multigenerational economic mobility for residents who do not share in the broader prosperity and beneﬁts of living in Cambridge. And second, to build social cohesion across neighborhoods, social groups, and economic divides. These two goals are inextricably linked. Economic mobility is not possible without people supporting one another, and social cohesion is not possible without a path forward for the most vulnerable. The spirit of Cambridge is one of human connections. In the following pages, Mark Ostow, a nationally acclaimed, Cambridge-based photographer, reminds us of what life can be like with this spirit of connection and without it. As you read this report, we hope you will be inspired and see new ways that you, too, can engage with your community with a sense of purpose.

30 312023 Annual ReportCambridge Community FoundationSTRATEGIC PLANWe have made economic mobility and social cohesion the pillars of our plan. Both are fundamental to a healthy civic society, and they are inextricably linked. To advance economic mobility, we must support one another; to have social cohesion, we must create a path for-ward for the most vulnerable among us. We will address economic mobility by creating clear, measurable, multigenerational pathways to stabilize families in crisis, support their future economic success, and create opportunity for the next generation. Our ﬁrst step is to grow Cambridge’s food safety net. We will follow that by addressing housing insecurity, increasing ﬁnancial stability, and broadening access to postsecondary education. We will also focus on social cohesion, because when we are connected, we are much better prepared to respond to crises and opportuni-ties. We will invest in the arts, in sports, and in community activities. These are the spaces and places where everyone is equal, where margin-alized voices can be heard, and where people connect regardless of economic or social status. We will also support grassroots changemakers who are ﬁnding innovative ways to encourage connection and community. At every stage of the strategic plan, we will seek out knowledgeable, deeply committed partners. It’s from this approach that we will learn as we lead, harnessing the power of collective action. Given the challenges our city faces, there is an urgency to this work. We will launch pro-grams quickly with available CCF resources and demonstrate impact in the belief that the changes they’ll see will prompt new donors and other like-minded people to join us. Rest assured that while we do this work, we will continue our 100-year tradition of grantmaking for nonproﬁts, responding to community needs, and strengthening the social sector to ensure a vibrant, just, and equitable Cambridge. OUR STRATEGYReducing economic disparities and strengthening community bonds can help guarantee a successful future for all of Cambridge.ECONOMIC MOBILITY SOCIAL COHESIONOUR STAFF AND BOARD MEMBERS REFLECT ON THE PLAN“If our goal is to change systems to improve Cambridge, it can’t be about individual action. The path to economic mobility and social cohesion is about how we can work collectively to make things happen. Together we can ﬁgure out how to do things better, more eciently, and in cooler ways.” — Christina Turner, vice president, programs and grantmaking“With this plan, we’re taking advantage of our role as a connector. There are so many organizations doing good work in Cambridge, and CCF can help them address tough problems by linking them and providing opportunities for them to share learning, reduce duplicated eorts, and collaborate on innovative solutions.” — Rick Grudzinski, board member

32 33cambridgecf.org2023 Annual ReportCambridge Community FoundationSTRATEGIC PLANOur sta and board members reﬂect on ECONOMIC MOBILITYIncome inequality is weaken-ing our city and opportunity gaps are widening, especially for children and young people. Thirty-six percent of Cam-bridge families make less than $130,000 a year, the income needed for a family of four to be economically stable.*Opportunity gaps among schoolchildren emerge as early as the third grade and persist through high school.In 2022, 87 percent of Cam-bridge Rindge and Latin School (CRLS) graduates planned to attend a two-or four-year college, but only 65 percent enrolled.**“Economic mobility brings important things to a city and its people. By having more diverse voices working to improve conditions, you’re enriching the community, and it’s a virtuous cycle. It gives everyone the potential to reach their dreams, whatever they may be.” — Wen Lo, ﬁnance director“Economic mobility is a bold concept for a phil-anthropic organization because it acknowledges that we need to focus on the root causes of the prob-lems. What conditions and systems have created the inequities? Philanthropy is changing in the 21st century and that means approaching the work with courage and honesty.” — Minjee Lee, development and operations associate“Everyone has something to contribute. Viable path-ways to economic mobility can unleash the potential of each person to the ben-eﬁt of their families, their neighborhoods, and the broader community. I want to see everyone succeed.” — Geo O’Connell, chief operating ocer“The ambition of this plan excites me. It’s easy to have a sense that nothing is changing globally, nationally, or statewide, but when you help locally you can really see that change is possible. I hope this plan creates a bigger family, a sense of belonging for the community, and a shared purpose.” — Liz Ackerson, donor relations and systems ocer“Economic mobility is about individuals and families learning, growing, and taking advantage of career opportunities by focusing on their ﬁnancial education, allowing them to live the life they dream of. The goal is to get the entire community moving as one to advance every-one’s economic dreams.”— Ty Bellitti, board member* CCF data brief “Cash Empowers: Rise Up Cambridge Bridges Gaps for Families,” June 27, 2023 ** Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education

34 35cambridgecf.org2023 Annual ReportCambridge Community FoundationSTRATEGIC PLAN“Cambridge has everything it needs to solve these problems. All the puzzle pieces are there—the desire is there, the resources are there—but it’s about arranging them in a certain way. We just need to solve the puzzle together.” — Danny Dicamillo, programs and grantmaking associate“I’d like a Cambridge that works not only for my kids but also for their friends and classmates. The strategic plan touches on a lot of things that impact people’s lives and can make our community better for everyone.”— Elizabeth Patton, chief of sta Our sta reﬂect on SOCIAL COHESIONWe see signs of Cambridge’s social fabric fraying. We see economic and social dispar-ities among residents, the marginalization of those less fortunate, and increasing polarization in our commu-nity. Social cohesion can strengthen our community and help us solve problems together. By increasing par-ticipation in the arts, growing social innovations, and deep-ening community engage-ment, we can build bridges among neighborhoods, groups, and people. “Social cohesion goes both ways. Someone who’s ﬁnancially secure shares wealth and a child’s life is changed, but also the donor may look at the world dierently and begin to ﬁght for that child. Helping others can expand one’s point of view.” — Michal Rubin, vice president of philanthropic partnerships“I love how creative people present themselves to the world and how they want to create community. I get to experience their excitement and see their dreams come to life. It warms my heart to be a part of that.” — Brandon Solis, programs and grantmaking associate“This is about tackling big local problems with folks from all walks of life who are building solutions in our city, and nurturing programs that champion equity. And while our goals are ambitious, we know that if any city can solve these problems, it’s Cambridge.”— Lauren Marshall, vice president of marketing and civic engagement

36 37cambridgecf.org2023 Annual ReportCambridge Community FoundationSTRATEGIC PLAN2028OUR FIRST STEPBuilding the food safety net The spirit of our plan is exempliﬁed by our ﬁrst strategic initiative—building a food safety net. One in eight Cambridge residents experiences food insecurity. Food pantry use increased from 27 percent in 2019 to 51 percent in 2022, and in that same period, use of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) doubled.* No doubt that’s in part because of the pandemic, but whatever the reasons, food insecurity in Cambridge is unacceptable and we can change it.We launched our strategic plan with food security because it’s so fundamental to human existence. We started this fall with a multiyear $1.1 million investment in local nonproﬁt partners. Together, we are oering families dignity in meeting their basic needs by bolstering food pantry infrastructure and capacity, increasing coordination and integration of the emergency food network, and boosting the use of the SNAP Match Program, which doubles SNAP beneﬁts at farmers markets. Embedded in this initiative is the blueprint of our strategic plan— providing leadership, building a network of committed problem solvers, marshaling the resources to amplify their work, and demonstrating impact.OUR PARTNERS IN FOOD SECURITYGrowing our networkCambridge Economic Opportunity Committee (CEOC)Cambridge Community CenterThe Food Pantry NetworkDaily Table East End House Food For Free Margaret Fuller Neighborhood House Mass Farmers MarketsRescuing Lefover CuisineSpoonfuls* Greater Boston Food Bank, Opportunities to Improve Food Equity and Access in Massachusetts: Ending Hunger—Together, 2023OUR INITIATIVES Tackling problems in partnershipOver the next ﬁve years, the strategic plan will introduce the following seven initiatives.

Half of Cambridge’s low-income households will have gained ﬁnancial stability, reducing debt and increasing assets.2. Postsecondary opportunities, including college, trade school, and certiﬁcate programs, will be available to all students. 3. The city’s arts and culture ecosystem will be strong and thriving.4. Cross-cultural collaborations and social innovations will be increasing.5. Residents will be more engaged in social and democratic life and better connected with one another.The line at CEOC’s food pantry on Inman Street in Central Square. If we work together, in 2028:

Greig Cranna’s insights as a Cambridge resident and professional photographer guided the visual narrative. He also provided a space for the team to collaborate at his photo gallery, appropriately named BRIDGE. Mark Ostow was dogged in his pursuit of images that captured social cohesion. Lauren Marshall crafted the words that express this moment in CCF’s history. George Restrepo of Rest Design captured our visual personality and connected all the narrative pieces into a cohesive whole. Everyone applied their talents with a shared goal—bringing the mission and vision of CCF alive on the page.WRITERLauren MarshallEDITORElizabeth GehrmanPHOTOGRAPHERSGreg Cook, Cambridge Arts, back coverGreig Cranna, pages 2 and 31 to 35 Jodi Hilton, pages 36 and 43Mark Ostow, pages 4 to 27 and 29, 36, 39, and 48PHOTO EDITORGreig CrannaGRAPHIC DESIGNest DesignPRINTINGDS Graphics/Universal Wilde
