Thank you.

Because of you and others across our region, our inaugural 413 Gives was a powerful show of support for the nonprofits that care for western Mass. every day.

Together, this community raised $65,614 from 295 donors to support local nonprofits providing food, shelter, childcare, immigration support, and so much more.

We’re proud to have come together with the Community Foundation of Western Massachusetts and the Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation, and grateful to be part of a community that shows up for one another.

Thank you for being part of NEPM, and for helping care for western Mass.
