Description

The Pittsfield Education Enrichment Fund is an endowed initiative managed by the Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation. Its mission is to enhance and enrich the educational experience of students and teachers in the Pittsfield School District. The fund supports a wide range of innovative educational activities, including independent study, new programs, extracurricular activities, creative projects, visiting speakers, artists in residence, professional development, and the acquisition of educational resources. The fund prioritizes projects that rely on volunteer efforts and demonstrate additional means of support, aiming to supplement rather than replace public funding. The program is committed to inclusivity and does not support organizations that discriminate on the basis of age, race, national origin, ethnicity, gender, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, political affiliation, or religious belief.
