Join the Challenge for Good. Make a Difference For Ever.
The Opportunity
The Fund for Wellesley has received a challenge from several anonymous donors to raise $100,000 by year-end, which will be matched dollar for dollar. Meeting this challenge is an opportunity to demonstrate your leadership in and commitment to the community.
The Organization
The Fund for Wellesley, established in 2008, has already made a tremendous impact on the Wellesley community through its grantmaking. It has provided seed money for innovative projects that have encouraged collaboration among organizations to strengthen the community and support vulnerable populations..
The Grantmaking
The Fund focuses its grants on three areas:
Community Building & Civic Engagement
Grants in this area are aimed at increasing volunteerism and community involvement, reaching out to engage diverse diverse age groups and new residents in serving the community.
Seniors—Engagement and Enhanced Services
These grants are meant to reach out to the growing, yet underserved, senior population and to expand services to meet their needs.
Youth Development and Opportunity
Grants in this category are intended to help young people, particularly the uninvolved, unaffiliated youth, realize their full potential.
To see details of our successful grantmaking, please see Highlights of Fund for Wellesley’s Grantmaking.
The Potential
Successfully meeting the $100,000 challenge will enable the Fund to continue to support innovative programs and respond to new opportunities that benefit the community. It’s about sustaining and strengthening Wellesley — now and for the future.
The Commitment
Demonstrate your leadership in the business community and your commitment to Wellesley by participating in the $100,000 challenge. The Fund needs your support. By contributing $5000, you can join the business leaders in our community who have chosen to make a difference for ever.
