Cummings Foundation has awarded nearly $600 million to date in Greater Boston.
Through this place-based initiative, Cummings Foundation aims to give back in the
area where it owns commercial buildings, all of which are managed – at no cost to
the Foundation – by its affiliate, Cummings Properties. This Woburn-based commercial
real estate firm leases and manages 10 million square feet of debt-free space, the
majority of which exclusively benefits the Foundation.

Receiving the Cummings Scholarship means so much, not just for myself, but also for my family, as it helps lower the cost of school tuition, as well as my living expenses. My business pitch for this scholarship was about an Escape Room project that I'm currently working on with my cousin to be open in Cambodia.
