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.
Throughout the holidays FCCCF will be sponsoring two club efforts to help those locally. One is the Wine Gift Giving Tree offering pre-wrapped bottles of wine, donated by local businesses and members, to give as gifts for a nominal donation. The other is the foundation's Season of Giving - It takes a Village campaign that will be highlighted in the clubhouse throughout December to acknowledge donors and celebrate the joy of collective giving.
Information for both foundation events can be found on the club calendar.
We hope to see you and your friends at these FCCCF events!
Donations can be made anytime to the foundation via mail to the FCC business office,.
Donations can also be charged to your account by personal request to the business office.
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 $300,000 in charitable funds thanks to our volunteers, donors and generous members. In the nine 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 $80,000. 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 to build our efforts. 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, , or through donor advised charitable funds. In 2026 FCCCF will be hosting the charitable 9 & Dine on June 5 and a Season of Giving campaign through the holidays. Info on these events will be detailed on the club website calendar or via member emails. Gifting raffle items or silent auction items for these events and hole sponsorship 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 over the years and hope you will join our effort either through donation or involvement in the years to come.
