GWCF Distributes over $1 Million in State Funding to Local Nonprofits
Leveraging the Foundation’s deep connections across the region is one of the critical ways that GWCF supports the community. In December 2020, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
announced the availability of $10 million - the first-ever program for community foundations. Greater Worcester Community Foundation is one of the 14 community foundations in the Commonwealth that were eligible to apply for these critical funds.
Working in partnership with Worcester Community Action Council (WCAC), GWCF will allocate just over $1.1 million to 10 nonprofit organizations who
will assist individuals and families as they manage through the pandemic.
These funds will provide for a range of needs including housing support, emergency food, technology needs for remote work and school, and childcare. The 10 grantees are:
- Angels Net Foundation
- Ansaar of Worcester
- Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Worcester
- Friendly House
- Muslim Community Link
- Parent Professional Advocacy League
- Rock of Salvation
- Southeast Asian Coalition of Central MA
- Worcester Interfaith
- World Youth Opportunity
GWCF is proud to work with our many partners to move our community forward through the pandemic.
