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 made a gift during the 2021 Tufts Community Appeal (TCA)? Tufts staff and faculty have made the TCA a tradition of generous giving for our community! The TCA is our chance to come together as a workforce in support of our talented students and non-profits in Tufts' host communities. Make your gift to the TCA by December 31st!
TCA Giving Options
Tufts Community Grants (TCG) - Contribute to the TCG program to support our host communities and the important work that is done by Tufts volunteers with community organizations in Medford, Somerville, Grafton and Boston. This year, your gift to the TCG program will make three times the impact thanks to a generous 2:1 matching gift from Cummings Foundation; every $1 donated to the TCG program will be matched with $2 by Cummings Foundation— up to $200,000! You can learn more about Tufts Community Grants program on our website: go.tufts.edu/TCG.
Tufts Financial Aid - Support our students by making a donation 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!

The Cummings Foundation will match every Tufts Community Grant gift 2:1, tripling the impact of your gift.
