Grant Winner List
A list of all 2018 grant winners, along with a summary of each nonprofit’s grant-funded program, is now available on Cummings Foundation’s website. If changes are warranted for your organization’s listing, please reply with any requested edits.
Grant Disbursements

Starting Small and Making it Big
Bill was thrilled to meet many of you at the book signing table last night. We are so grateful for the support of all those who have spread the word about and purchased Starting Small, especially because all proceeds go Cummings Foundation for charitable purposes.
Many organizations have ordered multiple copies to share with their staff, board, and key supporters. For anyone interested in doing the same, we are delighted to facilitate a discounted bulk order (three for $40; a case of 26 for $265; and an additional five percent off multi-case orders). Please contact Lisa VanStry via email or at 781-932-7071 for more information, or visit the Starting Small webpage.
