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.
