We're proud to be one of Cambridge Community Foundation's FY26 grantees!

Read more about CCF's recent investments in the Cambridge community, featuring a quote from Hildebrand's CEO: https://cambridgecf.org/community-fund-2026/

“Hildebrand is deeply grateful for Cambridge Community Foundation’s ongoing support and partnership,” said Hildebrand’s CEO Hadaryah T. Morgan. “With funding from CCF, Hildebrand works with families to transition out of homelessness—for good. Our vision is that every family has a home, and CCF’s support helps us drive toward that goal by providing high-quality services and innovative programs that lead to families finding safe, affordable permanent homes."

CCF's annual Community Fund is our broadest investment in Cambridge nonprofits, and our widest lens on the city. This spring, 157 organizations received a total of $1.37 million across child and youth development, arts and culture, education, housing, food security, health and wellbeing, economic security, community building, and the environment. That breadth is how we track what's changing in Cambridge and where the need is growing.

It's also a shared investment. Donor-advised fund holders and other local funders expanded what was possible this year by co-investing alongside CCF and contributing 46 percent of this year’s funding pool, allowing us to reach organizations we otherwise couldn't. We're grateful for every person who chose to be part of that.

We built renewal grants and consolidated the Community Fund into one cycle because we wanted the process to embody the values we hold around trust-based philanthropy. Trust runs through every part of this program. Reviewers give their time and knowledge. Nonprofits open their work to outside assessment. Donors invest without directing the outcome. We try to honor all of it—in how we design the application to minimize administrative burden, how we give feedback to applicants, and how we stay present as partners throughout the year.

Congratulations to this year's grantees and thank you to everyone who made this cycle possible. Learn more about our FY26 Community Fund partners in our press release: https://cambridgecf.org/community-fund-2026

Hildebrand is deeply grateful to United Way of Massachusetts Bay for supporting our work. With recent Family Emergency Financial Assistance (FEFA) grants, Hildebrand is providing emergency assistance for rent, utilities, and other essentials to help families stabilize.

This emergency assistance is part of Hildebrand’s diversion work, designed to identify families experiencing early signs of housing instability and provide support to keep families housed.

Beyond the FEFA grants, United Way has supported Hildebrand's work by providing flexible, multi-year funding, supporting emergency food access during the SNAP freeze, engaging in hands-on volunteer projects, and convening providers to share resources and expertise.

"Individuals and families are facing unprecedented uncertainty and instability," said Marty Martinez, President and CEO, United Way of Massachusetts Bay. "Our partnership with Hildebrand reflects our joint commitment to responding to urgent needs while also strengthening and reimagining the safety net and the systems so many people rely on."
