The Hopkinton Country Club Charitable Foundation donates over $100,000 each year to not-for-profit organizations that support the most vulnerable youth and families in our local communities. Data indicate that far too many families in Middlesex and Worcester counties continue to struggle economically. Here's how HCCCF lends a hand:

We have granted over $1.1 Millon to not-for-profit organizations since 2010.
We support youth development and economic assistance charitable organizations who are helping those with the greatest needs.
We regularly convene teen and adult volunteers to lend a hand at area nonprofits and HCCCF events.

HCCCF and Youth Development

Children Across America

Children Across America provides a free alternative program to underserved families with students in grades K-5. Reading comprehension and technology competencies are the focus of their programs.

Mazie Mentoring Program

Our support has enabled Mazie in Framingham to fully fund 25 of their youth mentees in their Goal Achievement Awards Program this year. Support includes a portion of scholarships and laptop computers that are awarded to students who achieve their goals.

Francis Ouimet Scholarship Fund

Friends of Families in Transition

Our support provided low income and homeless families in MetroWest the opportunity to go to Canobie Lake Park and receive gift cards at the holidays.

HCCCF Youth in Philanthropy

Youth in Philanthropy (YIP) is a leadership development program designed to empower and educate local youth to become our community’s next generation of philanthropists–those who give their time, talent and treasure for the common good. The Hopkinton CC Charitable Foundation funds the Hopkinton Youth in Philanthropy program each fall for approximately 20 future philanthropists from surrounding communities. Through our partnership with the Foundation for MetroWest, the HCCCF provides young adults the opportunity to learn all aspects of philanthropy, fundraise, develop critical teamwork and leadership skills, and ultimately make $10,000 in grant awards to not-for-profit organizations in our program areas.

Fostering the future of philanthropy

Each fall, the coveted Hopkinton YIP program attracts interest by aspiring philanthropists looking to change the world.

Learning/Living Philanthropy

Foundation for MetroWest YIP staff introduce students to the 16 week philanthropy curriculum ahead of them.

Community Harvest

Getting Their Hands Dirty

YIP students perform site visits with potential grantees to see firsthand how funds will be used. In 2020, the site visits were virtual.

Global

Youth In Philanthropy presents students with the realization that many in our communities have real needs, and how to contribute to help.

Grant Defense

Celebrating a job well done

YIP participants defend their grant decisions to a board of civic leaders. Here students celebrate successfully presenting their grant defense.
