413 Gives
413 Gives supports the nonprofit organizations that care for our neighbors across western Mass.
Many local nonprofits have lost the federal funding that helped them provide food, shelter, childcare, immigration support, and other essential services. 413 Gives is a community-wide day of giving to help fill that gap.
NEPM has partnered with the Community Foundation of Western Massachusetts and the Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation to make it simple to give, and to make every dollar count in our community.
