The Community Foundation for MetroWest is thrilled to announce its 2024 Fall Grant Partners, awarding a total of $625,000 to support critical initiatives across the MetroWest region.
This year’s grants were awarded to 69 nonprofit grant partners that encompass a diverse range of focus areas, including, environmental, human services, arts & culture, and hunger relief initiatives. These funds will empower local non-profit organizations to address vital needs and enhance the lives of residents throughout MetroWest.
“This year, we’ve received a remarkable number of grant proposals, a testament to the growing needs of our community,” said Jay Kim, Executive Director of the Community Foundation for MetroWest. “We are committed to supporting our non-profit partners in delivering essential services, cultivating artistic expression, and creating a more equitable and sustainable future for all.”
“While MetroWest is often seen as a collection of affluent suburbs, it’s important to remember the striking disparities our neighbors are facing,” stated Susan Kavoogian, Chair of the Foundation’s Distribution Committee and Foundation Trustee. We are so grateful to our Distribution Committee for investing their time in reviewing applications and going on site visits to make informed and thoughtful decisions when awarding these grants.”
