The Chesterbrook Community Foundation (CCF) empowers the children and teens who live in the Chesterbrook Gardens public housing community in Waltham, Massachusetts by providing them with mentoring, academic support, and enrichment in structured after-school and evening programs.

 

As foundations have shifted funding priorities, nonprofits serving 100+ children seem to get priority over smaller organizations; however, we know that small organizations can make a big impact!

 

To help sustain our programming, we are launching a Back to School Sustainability Campaign to raise $15,000 before the start of programming on September 21. Every dollar raised will support fantastic programming for some amazing kids and families!

​

The Chesterbrook Community Foundation is proud to partner with the community of the Chesterbrook Gardens Public Housing Development. After-school and evening programs engage more than thirty kids, and thanks to our staff and Bentley University mentors, they continue to get better and better. 

​

We hope to raise $15,000 by September 1.

 

This will allow us to make a solid commitment to parents that the after-school program will run for the full academic year. 

​

Our ask to you is this: can you help us to raise this money? We are asking you, our best ambassadors, to help us make up the gap. 

 

This can be a personally significant donation, a company matching donation, through outreach to your friends / family / Chesterbrook connections, or through connections to foundations or corporations—if it helps us to secure funding, we appreciate any and all efforts to support the Chesterbrook Learning Center!
