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 New World Fund provides financial assistance through small grants, typically ranging from $100 to $500, aimed at recent immigrants to the Berkshires and programs designed to facilitate their transition into new lives. Additionally, the fund offers a scholarship for new immigrants who have been in the United States for five years or less and are pursuing a degree at Berkshire Community College, further supporting educational advancements and integration efforts within the immigrant community.
