Our Guiding Principles
Having embarked on our collective journey of philanthropy, we pledge to work to help ensure that no one is ever left behind.
Recognizing that the dignity of every human person is fundamental, Cummings Foundation’s primary goal is to help meet the most basic needs of all people in all segments of our society.
We will work to help improve the lives of those within our priority funding regions primarily by directly supporting the work effective nonprofit organizations.
And we will endeavor through our local outreach to aid the furthest behind first.
