Starlight Forever Fund
Join us on the path to permanence for Starlight Square.
The team behind Starlight Square and the Cambridge Community Foundation have launched the Starlight Forever Fund to establish a permanent home for cultural life in Cambridge modeled on the success of Starlight Square.
The Fund will serve three primary purposes and be stewarded by the team that imagined and implemented the original, community-led concept:
1. Reflect and Refine – Record the lessons and stories of the past five years of Starlight as a cultural space to develop a framework for its future form.
2. Path to Permanence – Pursue a permanent home through advocacy, outreach, and future demonstrations.
3. Touch Earth – Imagine and implement new opportunities to reconstitute Starlight and continue its mission of supporting cultural life.
In its first five years, the award-winning Starlight Square hosted over 350 events by 225+ local arts and cultural organizations; reinvested $375,000 in local artists and organizations to produce public programming; supported hundreds of entrepreneurs through Popportunity, an economic development initiative; and modeled a youth employment track that empowers young people to be the face of their own community.
