WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The Williamstown Community Chest is accepting applications for the 2024 Mary and Henry Flynt Grants and Fund for Williamstown Grants. 
 
Applications are due by Oct. 15, 2024.
 
Both grant cycles will run concurrently and be administered by the Williamstown Community Chest as a pilot program with Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation. The partnership aims to streamline the process for nonprofit applicants and ensure strong local expertise on the grant review committee. Applicants may submit a single application to be considered for funding from both sources.
 
The Mary and Henry Flynt bequest to the Williamstown Community Chest created an endowment fund with a specified portion to be distributed annually as grants to "…persons or entities (including the Town of Williamstown) that provide services to the town or its residents (although not necessarily exclusively)."
 
The Fund for Williamstown, an endowed fund of the Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation, was created in 2006 by a group of residents who wished to continue the town’s strong tradition of community improvement and make Williamstown a better, more vibrant place to live.
 
An application form and instructions are available at WilliamstownCommunityChest.org, or by contacting the Community Chest office at info@WilliamstownCommunityChest.org or 413-458-2443.
 
Since 1927, the Williamstown Community Chest has mobilized resources for organizations that assist people in need.  Its volunteer board of directors conducts an annual fundraising campaign and 100 percent of the proceeds support nineteen local human service agencies that serve people of all ages and circumstances.
