This year we brought in speakers to help educate & identify available grants, and for our nonprofits to have the opportunity to collaborate and network with each other.Our strategic focus this year included Art and Culture Organizations. We have begun work in the arena of Arts and Culture by convening Arts and Culture cohorts together to articulate the needs of our community. We are exploring funding opportunities for us to support the Fitchburg Arts Community project. We meet regularly with the Executive Directors of New Vue and the Fitchburg Art Museum to keep connected with their needs and how we may be able to fund segments of this project. One goal is to establish a large Arts and Culture Fund to support Art Organizations now and into the future. We developed three grants outside of our normal RFP process for the first time. We distributed grants on significant issues in North Central Massachusetts that we felt were important to fund outside of our RFP. Two health and human service grants and an education grant. We also created a charitable fund option for donors to keep their advisors involved while at the same time establish a fund here at the foundation and have the opportunity to use our charitable services. This fund option is an Endowment Fund with Donor Recommended Investment Manager Contribution Form.See schedule I We funded three areas:1.10 Lucas chest compression machines to communities Fire/EMS departments within our 33 cities and towns who didnt have one. It allows the Fire/EMS teams to work more efficiently without having to compromise on their own safety. Total amount funded: $139,601.43. The Fire/EMT have consistently said that it made for much easier extraction from second floors, allowed staff to focus on treatment, freed up staff to do other tasks and because of the quality compressions they dont have to worry about CPR compressions. We have had 12 communities use the Lucas devices 19 times with one life save.2.We provided a three year funding grant to GAAMHA (Gardner Athol Area Mental Health Association) Assistance for transitional housing in Fitchburg, MA which will serve provides the individual the opportunity to further develop their program of recovery while learning how to balance the concerns of everyday life such as work, family, a social life, financial and personal responsibilities and provides full Case Management services. This housing will have a restaurant below the apartments where residents can have a work and live supportive experience. Total Amount of funding: $227,136. 3.We provided a five year funding to the Early Literacy Innovation Zone, powered by Footsteps2Brilliance a collective impact model with five partner organizations - a breakthrough bi-lingual early learning solution that helps all children become proficient readers by 3rd grade. The program is designed to address the 30,000 word deficit of low income students entering kindergarten. It allows school districts and community residences to leverage mobile devices that parents already own to improve early literacy throughout fifteen cities and towns of North Central Massachusetts. United Way of North Central Massachusetts is the administrator of this collective impact program. We have committed to distribute $30,000 a year for five years, $150,000 total to United Way of NCM as the administrators.4.In collaboration with United Way of NCM each year we fund out of our Critical Needs fund monies for the Emergency Shelter Fund at the United Way of North Central Massachusetts (UWNCM). This fund at UWNCM is designed to provide temporary emergency assistance only to area residents that are in imminent danger due to a severe, life threatening weather occurrence. This fund is not intended to address issues of poverty experienced by area residents, but to serve as a last resort safety net program to prevent loss of life. Our Board has voted to expend up to $10,000 each year. This year we funded $2011.20 to for the program.See schedule I. Our Funds distribute to our community in different but effective ways. Designated Funds: A type of restricted fund in which the fund beneficiaries are specified by the donor. These distribute to Arts and Culture, Education, Environment and Health and Human Service. Scholarship Funds: Provides scholarships to students who meet specific criteria as determined by the donor. 170 students in NCM were given assistance for college through these fundsDonor Advised Funds: The donor may recommend eligible charitable recipients for grants from the fund for the Foundations approval. Distributed to health and human services, education, environmental and arts & culture organizations.Field of Interest Uses our RFP process. Field of interest funds support specific areas of interest, such as the arts, environment or education, rather than an individual nonprofit organization. 4208096 true true false false false true false
