Description
The Better Together Grants, administered by the South Berkshire County Fund through the Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation, are designed to support projects that enhance mental health and wellness for residents in South County, Massachusetts. These grants fund both new and existing initiatives that foster resilience and well-being through community-building, positive social interaction, creative expression, physical activity, self-care, and mutual support. Special emphasis is placed on projects serving low-income, underserved, and historically marginalized adults and children. The program encourages diversity in programming and seeks organizations that incorporate a range of cultures, philosophies, and experiences.
Funded projects must serve at least 10 participants and can include a wide range of activities such as counseling, respite services, educational or outdoor programs, parent groups, STEM and environmental programming, summer camps, peer-to-peer groups, and arts or cultural initiatives.
