In appreciation and acknowledgement of this dedicated service through many challenges, Berkshire United Way, Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation, Northern Berkshire United Way, and Williamstown Community Chest have partnered to provide 16 mini grants of $500 each toward staff well-being activities. Applicants may determine the specific activities or services that will have the greatest impact on supporting their own staff. Applicants may apply only once. The application is easy to complete and grants will be disbursed quickly.

The recent Omicron surge has added to the toll the pandemic has taken on nonprofit professionals who are consistently providing direct services to our most vulnerable members of the Berkshire County community – whether in early learning classrooms, after-school programs, community health care settings, or other places where under-served communities receive critical resources and referrals.
