Middlesex Savings Charitable Foundation announced its donation of $340,000 to local nonprofits through its Operating Support Program.
The Foundation, which has been distributing grants for more than 20 years, temporarily pivoted to a special Operating Support Program to help nonprofits as they manage through the lingering impact of the pandemic. The program grants organizations the flexibility to use the donations in a wide variety of ways, including the funding of supplies, staffing and other overhead expenses.
“The pandemic amplified the needs of some of our most vulnerable community members,” said Jean A. Goldsberry, CEO of Minute Man Arc. “People with disabilities living in Minute Man Arc group homes suddenly needed round-the-clock support when their day programs were shuttered. Middlesex Savings Charitable Foundation stepped up to defray the unexpected staffing expenses, a true partner at a truly difficult time.”
The 34 grant recipients represent a broad range of nonprofit organizations throughout Eastern and Central Massachusetts:
“Middlesex is humbled to be in a position to support 34 worthy nonprofit organizations through our Operating Support Program. These grant recipients have persevered through an incredibly challenging time so that they may continue to support individuals and families in our area,” said Dana Neshe, president of the Middlesex Savings Charitable Foundation. “The grants reflect our understanding of all that the organizations do to make our communities better places to live.”
