Although Mr. Cummings came modest beginnings, his parents instilled in him the importance of charitable giving, “His father painted houses, raising a family in a one-bedroom apartment atop a liquor store and a taxi stand on the outskirts of Boston. Bill’s mother was a neighborhood fixture, building friendships as she knocked on doors to collect coins for large charities that once operated that way.” Learn more at www.cummings.com/book.
Indeed, Mr. Cummings’ generosity has been vast, and includes the Cummings Foundation’s “$100K for 100” program, which awards grants of $100,000 to 100 local nonprofits. In 2017, Wellspring was a proud recipient of the $100K for 100 grant.
