Welcome to the Framingham Country Club Charitable Foundation
OUR MISSION
Founded in 2015, The FCC Charitable Foundation (FCCCF) is committed to the thoughtful distribution of donated funds to local MetroWest charities. Pooling individual donations, FCC giving becomes more impactful and meaningful for those in need within the club’s neighboring communities. Please consider supporting the Foundation's efforts. In January 2022 the FCCCF board of directors launched their Nurturing Our Neighbors in Need campaign that with member support enabled the foundation to donate $50,000. towards local food security and housing assistance throughout 2023. We hope you will join our collective member efforts in 2024 which continues to focus on Helping our Local Communities Survive and Thrive.
There are two main FCCCF fund raising events in 2024:
To launch our 2024 campaign, the foundation is hosting the
Charity Nine & Dine on Friday June 7th.
Info can be found on the FCC website calendar of events
On Oct. 19th, the foundation is hosting its third annual FCCCF Monster Bash in the clubhouse. Launched in 2022, the Monster Bash was a popular and fun event for all with dancing, prizes, fabulous food, and silent auction!
Information for both foundation events can be found on the club calendar.
We hope to see you and your friends at these 2024 events!
Donations can be made anytime to the foundation via mail, the FCC office,
or the foundation website.
Thank you for your support of our collective efforts!

OUR HISTORY
The Framingham Country Club Charitable Foundation (FCCCF), a 501c3 charitable organization, began in 2015 thanks to hard working FCC member volunteers hoping to serve those in need or less fortunate than FCC members who are blessed with the privileges and advantages of a private country club. Modeled after other country club charity models that give back to their communities such as our neighboring Hopkinton Country Club, FCCCF has since raised over $250,000 in charitable funds thanks to our volunteers, donors and generous members. In the eight years since its inception the FCCCF board has evolved and adjusted its giving focus to local charities that serve constituents in our member communities. Of particular note, the foundation has granted $75000 since the 2020 pandemic to local charities that provide food and housing security, a major contribution designed to help local residents weather challenging and difficult times. The primary targeted charities for this local pandemic effort were Daniel’s Table, A Place to Turn, and Family Promise.
This collective charitable effort is possible through volunteer FCC board members, donations, and club support. The foundation is seeking new board members and representation for 2025 and spearheading an effort to establish an annual donation of $100 per member with an option to ‘opt out’ similar to the Ouimet Fund. This annual member contribution would potentially double the funds the foundation could grant and greatly help the FCC foundation mission to serve those near to us in need. If you would like to get involved in the foundation efforts, please contact any board member listed below via the member directory.
Donations to FCCCF are made via direct mail or drop off to the FCC office, participation and sponsorship in club fund raising events, website donations, or through donor advised charitable funds. In 2024 FCCCF will be hosting the charitable 9 & Dine on June 7 and the popular Monster Bash on Oct. 19. Info on these events will be detailed on the club website calendar. Gifting raffle items or silent auction items for these events is another way for members or member companies to donate.
In essence, FCCCF is a win-win opportunity for both the club, its members, local businesses, and local charities. We thank those of you who have supported the foundation in the last eight years and hope you will join our effort either through donation or involvement in the years to come.
