As we welcome the new year, we have many reasons to be hopeful.
Our community continues to show resilience in the face of the ongoing pandemic. Philanthropists are devoting more resources to community needs. And Westchester’s nonprofits are delivering programs and services of high quality in a time of increased need.
Looking for some inspiration? Here’s some of the work we are supporting:
Westchester’s service providers are working harder than ever, yet burnout and vicarious trauma are taking a toll. The Garrison Institute is bringing its Contemplative-Based Resilience program to the nonprofit workforce. Now, more workers will have the tools for self-care, so they can continue to care for others.Beginning in 2022 the next generation of Westchester’s social change leaders, including young people of color, will participate in transformative leadership training provided by the Rockwood Leadership Institute.
We’re proud to share these highlights from our grantmaking in 2021.
In 2022 we’ll continue to focus on immediate needs for all of our one million residents, provide ongoing support to ensure a strong and resilient nonprofit sector, and invest in diverse and inclusive programs that address long-standing and persistent inequities.
