Wicked Local Cambridge, Somerville and Medford advocates are organizing with legislators across the state to ensure that large nonprofits, like Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, pay their fair share in taxes. Locals may be familiar with the term PILOT (Payment in Lieu of Taxes), which calls for voluntary contributions by large nonprofits in exchange for not having to pay standard property taxes. Cambridge has PILOT agreements with Harvard, MIT, Hult International Business School and Lesley University. Right now, Harvard pays Cambridge about $4.3 million annually in PILOT, while MIT pays approximately $2.2 million, as well as other cash and non-cash community benefits.
