The mission of the Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation is to build stronger communities and improve the quality of life for all residents in the areas it serves. This involves supporting various charitable programs and endeavors, including the promotion of education, the arts, and community development.
The Quailwood Fund grant program aims to provide community support in the Red Rock area, emphasizing public service improvement, conservation, recreational facilities, fire and rescue infrastructure, and scholarships. Managed by an advisory committee representing local organizations, it seeks to address long-term needs and stay open to innovative ways to enrich community life. Grants typically range from $500 to $10,000, with the potential for up to $20,000 for projects of significant need or urgency, requiring a 1:1 match with specific cash and in-kind contributions based on the grant amount.
