In celebration of our 35th Anniversary, The Cape Cod Foundation made several significant gifts to the community. To demonstrate our commitment to The $3.5 Million Community Challenge in 2024, we awarded $280,000 in proactive grants to eight nonprofit organizations working in key impact areas: Environmental Conservation, Preservation & Restoration; Housing; Health & Human Services; Workforce and Career Development; and Youth Development.  

The grants advanced our ongoing strategy to:

• provide unrestricted and/or general-operating support
• provide multi-year support
• deepen our relationships with nonprofit partners
• make proactive grants that will have a demonstrable impact on important issues
• advance our commitment to diversity in grantmaking

Each nonprofit received a multi-year grant totaling $35,000 for unrestricted and/or operational support. Several of the organizations’ leaders also attended meetings with the Foundation’s Board of Directors to share information about their organization and sector. We will check in with grantees at the two- and three-year points to learn more about the impacts of these grants.
