Charities We Support

Included among the Needham based charitable and community organizations supported by NGCC are:
Needham Steps Up Program – Needham Steps Up's mission is to bridge the opportunity gap for income eligible Needham Public School students through mentoring and educational support that help make college and post-secondary success a reality.
Charles River Center – The Charles River Center is a nonprofit social service agency that has been providing advocacy and a variety of services to children and adults with developmental disabilities. Annually supply t-shirts for the Charles River Ellie Bloom Olympics and helps underwrite major fund-raising campaigns.
The Needham Community Council is a private non-profit organization that supports people in Needham who have under-met health, educational or social needs. Regularly offer financial assistance when needs arise.
The Needham Coalition for Suicide Prevention works within the fabric of the community to reinforce the ability of families, schools, churches and peer networks to help distressed individuals not to feel alone, to see options in their lives and to know they have a future.
The NGCC proudly supports local youth by providing donations to Needham High School athletic teams, fostering a strong partnership between the club and the town’s student athletes.
Our fundraising is solely dependent upon our annual fall golf tournament, private donations and other fund raising activities held throughout the year. 100% of all funds raised are used for scholarships and community support.
