Support our birthday fundraiser
CultureHouse is turning 8 this December! Since 2017, we’ve designed, built, and activated over 40 public spaces around the Greater Boston area. Please help us celebrate this milestone and continue connecting communities for years to come with a birthday gift.
Help us raise $8,000 by the end of 2025, and your donation will support:
- Free public events and programs at the Cambridge KiOSK
- Expansion to new locations in Massachusetts and across the Northeast through our Civic Spaces Program
- More events at HQ, including club fairs and volunteer trainings
- A mobile CultureHouse cart allowing us to engage more local neighborhoods
Other ways to give:
- Send us a donation over Venmo @culturehouse
- Make checks out to CultureHouse and mail to CultureHouse, 16 Union Square, Somerville, MA 02143

What our partners are saying
CultureHouse helped us to start thinking differently about what we might be able to do. We’re seeing that if we just start something that’s what helps to start new trends and shifts in what people do downtown.
—Pasquale Minichillo, Community Leader
Supporting CultureHouse is important to me because they are helping to build the type of society that I want to live in. Opening welcoming spaces for play and joy, creativity and healing, learning and collaboration, and most of all togetherness is an ambitious but achievable mission. Plus, they do it all from a generous, inclusive, and open-hearted vantage point.
—Emily Cooper, Community Activist
Community spaces free of the expectation of spending or having money are so deeply important. I was so incredibly happy to see a space like [CultureHouse Salem] and it was so lovely and welcoming. I live just 45 minutes away and am just here for the day, but I’m disabled and having this space to sit and enjoy art and quiet games and activities made the entire city suddenly more accessible and enjoyable for me for the day
