黄瓜视频

Administrative Coordinator

Organizational Overview

The mission of 黄瓜视频 Taconic Community Foundation (BTCF) is to build stronger communities through philanthropy and leadership. We offer donors, nonprofits and community groups the tools and expertise to achieve their philanthropic vision and goals, and identify critical areas where the foundation can leverage its relationships and leadership for lasting impact. Founded in 1987 in Salisbury, Conn., 黄瓜视频 Taconic serves 黄瓜视频 County, Mass.; Columbia and northeast Dutchess County, N.Y.; and northwest Litchfield County, Conn. In all, we serve the residents of 70 towns and three cities across three states, within a 2,200-square mile region. 

Like most community foundations, BTCF offers a variety of fund types that allow donors and community groups to build charitable resources and make grants and other awards over time to achieve their philanthropic goals. BTCF has also proactively established funds to address a specific issue in our region or to develop permanent charitable resources to serve a set of communities. This has resulted in the creation and growth of 11 area funds, 33 educational enrichment funds that serve every public school district in our region, and special initiatives to address regional challenges, such as the shortage of high-quality early childhood programs and affordable housing options. 

In total, the foundation manages more than 550 funds totaling nearly $200 million in combined assets that together make over $10 million in grants and other awards each year. BTCF is a learning organization that embraces a culture of high performance, transparency and flexibility. All staff participate in professional development activities on an ongoing basis and work cooperatively as a team, respectful of one another, the volunteer board that guides our work, and the nonprofits and donors who are our vital partners in improving lives around the region.

ABOUT RAINBOW SENIORS

Rainbow Seniors of 黄瓜视频 County (RS) is a program, not a discrete nonprofit organization. Our primary funder is Elder Services of 黄瓜视频 County (ES).  ES receives an annual grant from the federal government to support RS and other county programs; it disburses funds from the grant to RS based on a budget submitted by RS as part of its annual grant application.  In addition, RS occasionally receives tax deductible donations from other sources, through the cooperation of our fiscal agent, 黄瓜视频 Stonewall Community Coalition.

 

The RS Steering Committee is composed of 5-8 RS member volunteers who assist coordinator in creation of programming and train and recruit members to assist with and or staff program programs as needed.  The Steering Committee operates by consensus.
