The Worcester County Food Bank aims to create a hunger-free Worcester County by supporting nonprofit organizations dedicated to addressing food insecurity.
The Community Grant Program by Greater Worcester Community Foundation focuses on providing operating support to organizations whose missions align with specific focus areas such as Health & Wellbeing, Arts & Creativity, Youth & Families, or Basic Needs. It emphasizes the importance of sound organizational practices, commitments to equity, community voice, and systems disruption. The grant seeks to make transformative investments within the limits of its financial resources to correct historical philanthropic barriers and supports request amounts scaled to the annual budgets of applicant organizations. The program prioritizes partnerships with nonprofits where its grant could make a significant impact, especially those working towards systemic equity, inclusion through community-led initiatives, and the disruption of systemic inequities.
