DONATE MENU About Us Your Community Foundation The Foundation for MetroWest was founded in 1995 with a simple philosophy: You can make a world of difference in your own backyard. Where many donors, nonprofits and businesses join together to make the region they love a better place, today and for future generations. What is a Community Foundation? Our Mission Foundation for MetroWest connects philanthropic opportunity with demonstrated need. We promote philanthropy in the region, help donors maximize the impact of their local giving, serve as a resource for local nonprofit organizations, and improve the quality of life for all of our residents. What Does That Mean? It means that we are stronger together; that we can make a bigger difference when we work collectively. As a Community Foundation, we not only give out grants, we foster community. We are here to help anyone that is looking to do something good for their community, by: Connecting people with common interests and common goals to one another and showing them where donations can do the most good. Working with the nonprofits in the area – making connections, encouraging partnerships, and building relationships. Offering trainings and workshops for anyone connected to the organizations serving our region to help everyone work more efficiently and effectively – together. We are more powerful and more impactful when we work together as a community. How Do We Help? We help donors plan and carry out their charitable giving, whether they already know where they want to give or need assistance identifying local needs. We partner with others across the public, private, and nonprofit sectors, bringing a consistent and knowledgeable voice to critical civic issues. We manage funds and for both donors and nonprofits, reducing administrative costs while increasing tax advantages. We provide resources and information to the public to help shine a light on the strengths and challenges that face our communities in MetroWest. We offer programs for youth and nonprofits to learn, grow and build skills to better serve our communities.
