Final giving
At the outset, leaders running the Worcester Together nonprofit fund envisioned three
phases spanning emergency, intermediate and longer-term needs for area agencies.
Almost a year after the coronavirus pandemic hit, the fund has now given $1 million in
its third and final phase, which it calls Reimagining, with a goal of helping organizations
plan for the future after the health crisis. Six groups got funding:
n Legendary Legacies, Inc.: $125,000 for creating a youth-led civic
engagement academy to increase voter registration and turnout
among 18-25 year olds.
n Pernet Family Health Service: $150,000 for providing in-home
neonatal visits for all Worcester parents.
n Regional Environmental Council: $125,000 to improve food security
by increasing utilization of federal and state programs designed to
help residents purchase local produce.
n Together for Kids Coalition: $175,000 for establishing an early
childhood care coordinated system.
n Worcester Community Action Council: $175,000 for the delivery of
services in Southbridge and surrounding communities.
n Worcester Education Collaborative: $250,000 for improving access to
and quality of out-of-school time programs.
