Our Convening Work

Organizing collaborative change by coming together

In addition to our role as a critical funder of essential services in Berkshire County, we regularly bring together our funded partners and nonprofits to network and build connections; share information, resources, and innovative practices; and work toward solutions to help our community thrive.

We convene early learning educators, frontline program staff, nonprofit and staff managing community navigation programs, and CEOs and executive directors.
