Berkshire Taconic is expanding the role of philanthropy as a force for change.
In partnership with community organizations and donors we respond to our region’s highest priority issues, while addressing their root causes. We’ve aligned our work around a set of strategic priorities where we believe philanthropy can make a measurable difference.
What We Do
- Learn by convening groups and conducting rigorous assessments and evaluations.
- Connect donors and nonprofits with deep local knowledge in each issue area.
- Cultivate equity as a guiding principle in each of our three strategic priorities.
- Partner with community leaders across sectors to seize opportunities for growth and address inequities.
