Home - Community Relations

Mission:
The office of Government and Community Relations (GCR) creates the bridge between Tufts University and its host communities: Boston, Grafton, Medford and Somerville. We develop and maintain relationships with our neighbors, local organizations, and elected officials to help Tufts University fulfill its mission to make a positive impact on the communities that surround our campuses.

What we do:

Build and maintain relationships with our neighbors
Advise university faculty, staff and students about scholarship, research and volunteer opportunities within our host communities
Manage the Tufts Community Appeal, our internal giving campaign, and Tufts Community Grants, a program that provides grants for nonprofit organizations
Host events on-campus including Tufts Community Day, the Tufts Classic, Tufts Summer Movie night and community gatherings
Work with local stakeholders on campus development and public projects
Support local nonprofit organizations with in-kind and financial contributions
