The Foundation's guiding principle is to carefully grow charitable investments and to distribute the proceeds in ways that help organizations develop their capacity to serve their communities most effectively.Every couple of years, the Foundation conducts a series of meetings with the nonprofit community to listen and learn. This innovative approach has helped foster a collaborative approach to building a better community. At our very first forum, conducted in 2001, the nonprofit community told us that they needed outside resources to help with grant writing, management expertise and other program support. As a result, the Foundation created and launched a Nonprofit Institute. The Nonprofit Institute has helped hundreds of nonprofits and today is a self-sufficient organization. The long-term mission of the Foundation is to work closely with our donors, nonprofit organizations and the community to make a difference by funding and nurturing ideas and programs that are sustainable and committed to systemic change.In addition, to keep our administrative expenses as low as possible, we partnered with the United Way of North Central Massachusetts, sharing office space and key personnel. This arrangement, the only one in the United States, helps us put more money into important programs. In addition, it offers a unique opportunity to meet a variety of donor giving needs. 134400 134400 2883897 true true false false false true false false false true true false false false false false
