Funding Information
The number and size of grants awarded will depend on the amount of funding available from the Barrett Fund, as well as the number and quality of applications received. The Barrett Fund Committee may decide to award only a few large grants if a project is deemed to be of seminal importance to the Adams, Cheshire, Savoy community. All grants will require a one-to-one match either in cash, services or in-kind donations. Berkshire Taconic reserves the right to modify this policy on a case-by-case basis.
