Description
The Fund for Williamstown is an endowed fund of Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation, established in 2006 by residents seeking to continue the town’s tradition of community improvement. It supports health and human services, cultural and educational programs, and environmental protection. Its broad priorities aim to meet a wide range of needs and support all Williamstown residents.
