See schedule I (Grants & Other Assistance). 805479 693200 3672609 Upon the retirement of our part time President/CEO who had conceptualized and lead the foundation since its inception, the Community Foundation focused on the important task of hiring and onboarding our new CEO/President. We now have a dedicated full-time CEO after sharing the position with United Way of NCM for the last 17 years. This is an important step in the growth and identity of the Foundation. We reconfigured our business model to move from contracting for staff services from United Way of NCM to having the staff be employees of the Community Foundation of North Central Massachusetts. The number of employees went from 0 to 4 as a result.In our role as leader and convener of anchor organizations in NCM: This year we convened Historical Societies and Libraries to plan celebrations around the 100 year anniversary of 19th amendment. Due to COVID 19, our events from March on had to be cancelled. Our strategic focus this year included a reorganization of our grant making schedule. The new schedule allows each of our board members to take an active role in the grant making process. Each interest area sends out an RFP quarterly to nonprofit organizations. The committees associated with the different interests areas meet to review applications and makes distribution decisions to be submitted to the board for final approval and vote. We responded quickly to the COVID-19 epidemic by establishing a Critical Needs COVID 19 Fund. Soon after that, we were asked to partner with the MA COVID 19 Fund to distribution to our community, along with the other 15 Community Foundations in Massachusetts.
