On behalf of the City of Cambridge, Mayor Sumbul Siddiqui and City Manager Louis DePasquale are extremely thankful to the Biogen Foundation for its $1 million donation to the Mayor’s Disaster Relief Fund (“Fund”). Biogen and the Biogen Foundation seek to support the Fund’s efforts to provide emergency assistance to individuals and families in Cambridge who are experiencing extreme financial hardship caused by the current COVID-19 pandemic.

“Biogen’s support is instrumental in expediting our ability to reach as many people in Cambridge who have been significantly affected by the current COVID-19 crisis,” said Mayor Siddiqui. “Many of Biogen’s employees live and work in Cambridge, and it’s encouraging to see Biogen generously contribute to the Fund.”

The Mayor’s Fund will provide relief to Cambridge residents who have suffered a significant loss of income due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Many companies and individuals have donated to both the Fund and other local organizations. With this donation, the Fund has raised over $3.1 million.
