About United Charities Of Cambridge

United Charities of Cambridge is a place-based charitable funder serving Cambridge and nearby parishes, with a strong emphasis on meeting immediate hardship needs and supporting vulnerable residents. Its giving reflects its historic mission: almshouse resident support, relief of poverty, and help for disadvantaged children and young people, often through local frontline charities and social services partners. Grants appear to be targeted to organizations and individuals already embedded in the Cambridge community rather than to national or broad thematic initiatives.

Giving Approach

Small-to-moderate local grants, typically around $5,000-$20,000, with some resident hardship awards that are smaller and highly responsive to emergencies. Funding is place-based, often routed through trusted local agencies or allocated to residents, and appears to be recurring or programmatic rather than open-call and national in scope.

How to approach this funder

Focus proposals on direct relief for Cambridge residents, especially poverty, emergency support, housing-related hardship, or services for disadvantaged children and families. Existing almshouse residents should use the hardship fund procedures and form; outside applicants should align closely with Cambridge-area need and likely engage via local referral or partnership rather than a broad public application process.
