You are invited to help celebrate exceptional nonprofit individuals working to make our community a thriving place for all. The 7^th annual Berkshire Nonprofit Awards takes place on Tuesday, May 21, 2024 at Kripalu Yoga Center in Stockbridge.

“The COVID years were tough on everyone,” said NPC founder Liana Toscanini. “Partnering with Kripalu in 2024 seems fitting as nonprofits focus on recovery and wellness. We look forward to celebrating amazing nonprofit folks and networking with both the nonprofit and business communities.” (See list of this year's honorees below)

Each year we engage individuals and small businesses via "The Breakfast Club" campaign.

Your $250 donations will help us fund the roll-out of our PHILANTHROPY CURRICULUM across Berkshire County in 2024. This special program teaches students about the nonprofit sector and philanthropy, and empowers them to experience first-hand the joy of "giving back." The retooled version, following the pandemic, emphasizes social and emotional learning.
