General Info

Founded in 1991, the Community Foundation of Western Massachusetts administers a charitable endowment consisting of approximately 514 separately identified funds ( $97 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.
