Berkshire Taconic Announces New Grants for Community
Initiatives in Central Berkshires
Berkshire
Taconic Community Foundation today announced that its Central
Berkshire Fund is offering two-year grants of up to $38,000 for
nonprofit initiatives that support health, education, culture,
environment, childcare or human services in Dalton, Hinsdale,
Peru, Becket, Cummington, Windsor and Washington, MA.
"This community impact grant, which is being funded by an
anonymous donor, gives the fund the opportunity to
significantly help residents of the central Berkshire region,
said John Kittredge, chair of the advisory committee of the
Central Berkshire Fund.
The community impact grant may be one grant of $38,000 or two
of lesser amounts. Organizations that apply for the community
impact grant remain eligible to apply to the annual grant
program of the Central Berkshire Fund.
Funded projects must begin on or after January 1, 2009; project
funding concludes on December 31, 2010 at the latest.
To apply, nonprofit groups must submit a letter of interest to
Berkshire Taconic by May 31. The advisory committee of the
Central Berkshire Fund will review the letters and select two
to four projects to be developed into full proposals. The
committee must receive full proposals by September 1 and will
announce grant recipients in January 2009.
Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation builds stronger
communities and improves the quality of life for all residents
in the region it serves: Berkshire County, MA; Columbia County
and northeast Dutchess County, NY; and northwest Litchfield
County, CT. Founded in 1987, Berkshire Taconic currently has
over 500 funds and manages more than $84 million in assets.
Each year, it distributes more than $7 million through grants
and scholarships, helping thousands of donors achieve their
philanthropic goal and hundreds of nonprofits carry on their
good work.
