Foundation donors experience innovation and collaboration at Printer's Building
The creativity and community-mindedness that has come to characterize Worcester was on full display for guests of our recent Fall Insights for Donors event.
In a memorable evening of tours and networking, attendees visited 7 nonprofits housed in the Printer's Building, a space owned by Davis Publications that is currently under extensive renovations to preserve its history and meet the growing needs of community innovators.
In an atmosphere of excitement and possibility, these organizations demonstrated the ways they are doing their part to enhance our community through arts, education, technology, and service.

Looking back on our O&E season
"O&E visits are one of the best ways to fulfill my role as a Foundation Board member," says Matt Wally. "The community benefits from so many thriving nonprofits. These visits provide me with the opportunity to witness how well our funds are being used."
If you missed the chance to participate in O&E's this year, don't worry. This annual program kicks off next March, so keep an eye on your email!
