About This Cause

Founded in 1991, the Community Foundation of Western Massachusetts administers a charitable endowment consisting of approximately 528 separately identified funds ($110 million) serving the three counties bordering the Connecticut River in Western Massachusetts (Hampden, Hampshire, and Franklin Counties). Each fund was contributed by one or more generous donors who wished to make a difference, on a local scale, in those communities. We make it possible for good people to accomplish good works in the Pioneer Valley. The Foundation also plays a central role in the charitable distributions from four large private foundations in the region, administered by Bank of America and representing approximately $24.6 million in additional charitable assets. Some of these charitable assets are unrestricted, used to meet emerging and changing needs; some support named charities; others provide scholarships or college loans. Some are permanent funds; some distribute principal.
