Friends and Supporters of GWCF,
Last month, I noted that New Year’s weekend was like the continental divide – allowing us to see a long way forward and back. Already 2023 has us skiing rapidly downhill, picking up speed as we go.
It is scholarship season, and hundreds of students are preparing their applications for our 140+ scholarship funds to consider. College education remains the single best way for young people to exit poverty and thrive, and we are incredibly proud of this program’s support of the youth of Worcester County. If you are interested in further supporting youth with your own or a field of interest scholarship fund, please let Kelly Stimson or me know. 2023 also brings a new tax law change that expands the deductibility of charitable giving, so your dollars go a lot further! Check with your tax preparer for details.
My mountain metaphor breaks down here, but I want to remind you of our investment event coming up on February 7th. Given the volatility of the economy and markets over the last year, don’t miss the opportunity to hear form our experts about all of the whys and whats of the investment markets.
Also, take a minute to check out our new web site! Our goal is to make all the information you need available to you through the site. Let us know what you think!
Thank you for your ongoing support of the Foundation and your love of the greater Worcester community.
Best,
