Grants for Women

The Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation announced today that they are accepting applications for scholarships from the Anne Sanford Legacy Fund.

The fund provides scholarships from $100 to $1500 to allow women to attend political or professional leadership training programs. The fund was established by The Women’s Times to honor the memory of Anne Sanford, a pioneering businesswoman and community activist.

Applicants must be women of 18 years or older and currently living or working in the Berkshire Taconic region (Berkshire County, MA, Northwest Litchfield County, CT, Columbia and Northeast Dutchess Counties, NY) or in the Pioneer Valley, Massachusetts. All women are welcome to apply; women of color and those from underrepresented or disadvantaged groups are especially encouraged to apply.

You can get the application online at www.berkshiretaconic.org/grantseekers or you can get one by calling the office at 413-528-8039.  Completed applications must be received at Berkshire Taconic by 5p.m. on May 15.
