Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Philanthropy, Public Foundations
Mission: The christina clarke foundation was established in honor of christina genco and to carry on her legacy of community service. Christina was on her second service trip with bike & build, a non-profit group dedicated to cross-country bicycle trips to benefit affordable housing when a tragic accident took her life at the age of 22. Christina's short journey through life was driven by her passion for helping others. Christina was an inspiration to houndreds of youth nurturing, mentoring, and coaching them. She will always be remembered for her gentle spirit, athleticism, creativity, and commitment to making a difference in the world at such a young age.
Programs: Affordable housing program: ccgf provides volunteer and financial support to local, national, and international, affordable housing organizations for the construction of homes for those in need. Funds, along with the time of ccf staff are donated in partnership with the cross-country cycling organization bike & build. During the past few years we worked on builds for the boston, lowell, portland, and pikes peak affiliates. We have also worked with habitat for humanity international on housing build in malawi, africa. Athletic scholarship program: ccgf provides financial support to young athletes who demonstrate the values that christina embraced. Our scholarship recipients receive an award to cover cost for participation in team sports and return make a commitment to pursue volunteer activities in service to their community. Safe bicycling program: ccfg provides bicycle safety education and awareness initiatives for drivers and cyclists, at the local and national levels. Our greater boston safe bicycling program works in partnership local organizations to advance their outreach efforts. These efforts included outfitting of hundreds of bicycles with modern safety lights and lectures on safe bicycling at schools throughout greater boston. Our national outreach program seeks to identify and support organizations improving safety at the national level. Ccgf has supported the washington dc area bicyclist association (waba) to continue their research focusing on data and policy analysis of bicycle accident data.
