Cummings Foundation Major Grants

These awards, made on an occasional basis, primarily support greater Boston and Rwandan nonprofits, and frequently build on funding previously provided through other Cummings Foundation grant programs. Proposals for major grants are accepted by invitation only.

Those designated as NExT Grants (Nonprofits Experiencing Transformation) were awarded to current grantees on the cusp of transformational growth. Each recipient was deemed to have an aspirational leader with bold visions and proven capabilities, a well-conceived plan for growth in the near term, and solid finances.

Museum of Science Lobby Renovation

The Cummings organization donated $2.5 million for a major lobby renovation project at Boston's Museum of Science. The magnificent new entrance at this 185-year-old Boston icon includes the newly named Cummings Concourse, which was dedicated "in honor and recognition of the entire staff of Cummings Properties." (left to right) Cummings Properties president and CEO Dennis Clarke, Bill and Joyce Cummings, Alicia Clarke, and Museum of Science president Yannis Miaoulis gathered at an event to celebrate the completion of the lobby renovation.
