Donors - Community Foundation of Western Massachusetts

Expertise You Can Trust

Do you want clean local rivers? Caring mentors for teens? Hot meals delivered to homebound seniors? Imaginations sparked by theater productions?

At the Community Foundation of Western Massachusetts, our expert staff is committed to understanding your charitable giving interests and connecting you to effective organizations as well as fellow donors who share your goals.
