Thirty-five local organizations in Tufts’ four host communities in Massachusetts have been awarded $35,000 in grants from the Tufts Community Grants (TCG) program. The grants, which are funded by donations from Tufts University faculty and staff, are awarded each year to community-based charitable organizations in Boston, Grafton, Medford and Somerville.
TCG is a giving option of the annual Tufts Community Appeal, an internal fundraising campaign for faculty and staff at Tufts University. Donors to the TCG program are members of the Tufts workforce who value and support the work of the university’s community partners and the welfare of Tufts’ host communities.
