Mt. Pleasant Fund 2.24.18

Since 2002, the Mt. Pleasant Fund, a private, non-operating foundation, has sought to partner with nonprofit organizations in a way that goes beyond traditional grantor-grantee relationships. In addition to “writing the checks,” we have sought to visit as many agencies as possible, and we have in recent years begun a program of actively volunteering with our partners.

We believe that by striving to truly partner with the agencies, we will maximize the positive impact that we can have on the people the agencies are serving.

The founders of the Mt. Pleasant Fund originally started it as a way for their families and friends to work together on philanthropic issues of interest to all of them. As the Fund has developed, this objective remains though anyone interested in becoming a member of the foundation is welcome to do so.

In September of 2019, the Board of Directors voted to narrow our programmatic focus considerably. Our priority for the foreseeable future is to support organizations that are serving marginalized families with children living within the city limits of Holyoke, Massachusetts.

Prospective donors and partner agencies are encouraged to spend some time looking at this site in an effort to answer questions you may have.
