Our students are just amazing, and there is a lot of need. They have been through a lot. Anything we can do will make it a little easier for them to focus on the important things that they are supposed to be doing, which in our case, is making art—which they are doing fabulously. To be able to support them makes me feel good and my colleagues too.
Tufts Community Appeal
Join Us!
Did you know that nearly 1 in 5 Tufts employees make a gift during the annual Tufts Community Appeal (TCA)? Our generous staff and faculty have made the TCA a tradition of giving for our community! The TCA is an opportunity to come together as a workforce in support of local non-profits and our talented students.
TCA Giving Options
Tufts Community Grants (TCG) - Your donation directly supports non-profit partners in our host communities of Boston, Grafton, Medford and Somerville. And this year, your generosity can go further than ever: If we raise $50,000 for TCG, the Cummings Foundation will provide a transformational 3:1 match, unlocking $150,000 for this unique program. Every dollar you give can become $4 for local non-profits. Go.tufts.edu/giveTCG.
Tufts Financial Aid - Support our students by donating to Tufts Financial Aid. Join alumni, parents and friends in the effort to help deserving and extraordinary students attend Tufts based on their academic ability and not their ability to pay. Your contribution to financial aid supports students who are improving their lives and changing the world.
Any Area or Program at Tufts - Make a gift to any area or program at Tufts that is important to you. Support your favorite athletics team, academic program, scholarship fund, research interest, and more.
Can't decide? No problem. Give to as many causes as you like!
Triple Your Impact!
The Cummings Foundation will match every Tufts Community Grant gift 2:1, tripling the impact of your gift.
