The Community Foundation for MetroWest improves the quality of life in 30+ MetroWest communities by providing financial and educational resources to local nonprofit organizations, sharing essential data about our region to inform decision making, and partnering with donors to help guide and align their giving with the areas of greatest need in the community.
The MetroWest and Framingham Emergency Relief funds aim to provide rapid financial resources to nonprofit organizations in the MetroWest region to assist during emergencies. These emergencies could include natural disasters, financial crises, and public health emergencies. The goal is to support vulnerable populations by facilitating a community response characterized by purpose, compassion, and focus. Specifically, the Framingham Emergency Relief Fund supports nonprofits that provide direct services such as meal preparation, health services, case management, legal support, behavioral health services, and the acquisition of food, household goods, hygiene items, and medical supplies for families in need. Both funds seek donations from individuals, businesses, and foundations to meet these goals effectively, working closely with local authorities and partners to identify and address the most pressing needs in the community.
