Cambridge offering grants to nonprofits to support residents Community Content The city of Cambridge Community Benefits Advisory Committee recently announced that it is now accepting applications for $10,000 grants for up to 100 eligible 501c3 nonprofit organizations. At its Feb. 8 meeting, the Cambridge City Council approved a recommendation by Cambridge City Manager Louis A. DePasquale for the appropriation of an additional $1 million to support a new round of grants for eligible nonprofit organizations. Applications for eligible 501c3 nonprofit organizations are now available and will be accepted through Feb. 22. Grant agreements will be awarded to provide services to “vulnerable” Cambridge residents during the COVID-19 health crisis and recovery. Services must respond to the needs identified in the Cambridge Community Needs Assessment and are subject to the requirements of the Community Benefits Advisory Committee Ordinance, Municipal Code Chapter 2.127. This second round of funding builds upon the $1 million in grant funding awarded in July 2020.
