The mission of the Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation is to build stronger communities and improve the quality of life for all residents in the areas it serves. This involves supporting various charitable programs and endeavors, including the promotion of education, the arts, and community development.
The Central Berkshire Fund focuses on supporting nonprofit activities that enhance community life within designated towns. Guided by community advisors, it awards grants for projects, programs, capital improvements, and general operating support in areas such as arts and culture, education, the environment, and health and social services. The fund is open to supporting a wide range of initiatives, including those that have previously received its support, indicating its commitment to ongoing community development and improvement.
Projects prioritizing support for communities facing systemic barriers, such as low-income groups, people of color, LGBTQIA+ populations, those with disabilities, residents of remote areas, and refugees and immigrants, will be favored.
