Dear Becket friends-
We have a rare opportunity to help our neighbors in need. The Central Berkshire Fund of the Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation is offering a challenge grant to the residents of Becket. For every $1.00 that Becket residents raise, the CBF will contribute $7.00, up to a total of $14,000. That means if we raise $2,000, we get $14,000, making a total of $16,000 that will be earmarked for emergency assistance to Becket residents who may be having financial problems.
The funds will be dedicated to the Neighbor to Neighbor program to provide various kinds of help- transportation, utility or medical bills, short term housing assistance, etc. The terms of the grant are that we must raise at least $2,000 from at least ten Becket residents (hopefully many more!) and that it must be done by December 31.
Please see the attachment for more details. Make your checks payable to the Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation and in the memo line write CBF- Becket. Every dollar we raise will benefit Becket residents.
Please mail your checks to:
Central Berkshire Fund
c/o Becket Town Hall
557 Main St.
Becket, MA 01223
The checks will then be forwarded to Berkshire Taconic’s offices in Gt. Barrington.
