Nonprofit Public Policy Advocacy

We envision a Cambridge where all community members have equitable access to opportunities and resources, and where the nonprofit sector is a valued partner in leading social change that addresses historical injustice.

Our advocacy work is based on our guiding principles and is shaped by nonprofit voices and the data leaders share with us. Priority areas include:

• Public Funding for Cambridge Nonprofits
