GIVING BACK: Your Guide to Philanthropic Opportunities in the Berkshires
Each year the Nonprofit Center of the Berkshires publishes a Giving Back guide listing 1,000 nonprofits by category, i.e. Arts & Culture, Housing, Youth & Education. Listings are FREE for all Berkshire nonprofits.
Designed to connect nonprofits to people who want to “give back” either as volunteers or donors, the Giving Back guide has become an indispensable tool.
The Giving Back guide has grown every year as more nonprofits participate with full page profiles and more groups such as schools, giving circles, and leadership programs request the book.
In 2020, we established a new format and distribution partnership with The Berkshire Eagle, reaching almost 3x the number of people in our community.
NEW format & EXPANDED distribution via The Berkshire Eagle
Given the societal changes as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Giving Back guide transitioned to a new format & distribution model to directly reach prospective donors & volunteers where they are – at home. We partnered with The Berkshire Eagle to publish a special “Berkshire Nonprofit Edition” of the paper on September 23, 2020 that was mailed to 13,400 homes in the Berkshires.
The Berkshire Eagle provided rich editorial content focused on the nonprofit sector throughout the Sept 23rd edition. The NPC redesigned the Giving Back guide to fit the newspaper size “Broadsheet” pages. Our 32-page Giving Back section was printed on brighter paper to encourage people to keep it as a valuable reference throughout the year. Additional copies are available throughout the year as needed. Over 1,000 Berkshire nonprofits were listed by category in the directory.
