About this organization

About
The Community Foundation plays a role as Convener of anchor organizations in NCM: This year we convened Arts and Culture Orgs, Land Trust & Environmental Nonprofits. This year we brought in speakers to help educate & identify available grants, and for our nonprofits to have the opportunity to collaborate and network with each other.Our strategic focus this year included Art and Culture Organizations. We have begun work in the arena of Arts and Culture by convening Arts and Culture cohorts together to articulate the needs of our community. We are exploring funding opportunities for us to support the Fitchburg Arts Community project. We meet regularly with the Executive Directors of New Vue and the Fitchburg Art Museum to keep connected with their needs and how we may be able to fund segments of this project. One goal is to establish a large Arts and Culture Fund to support Art Organizations now and into the future. We also created a charitable fund option for donors to keep their advisors involved while at the same time establish a fund here at the foundation and have the opportunity to use our charitable services. This fund option is an Endowment Fund with Donor Recommended Investment Manager Contribution Form.See schedule I
