At Greater Worcester Community Foundation, their work is guided by a simple but powerful idea: greater giving, greater impact for a greater Worcester County. That vision shapes how they partner with others to strengthen philanthropy and deepen community connection across our region.
The Inspiring Generosity Match Fund, a collaboration between Greater Worcester Community Foundation and the Esler Family Foundation, brings this approach to life. By encouraging charitable giving and supporting nonprofits as they build capacity and reach, the fund helps create stronger organizations and more meaningful outcomes across Worcester County.
Grantees recently came together for a kickoff event and fundraising workshop led by Chuck Gordon. During the event, Jeanne and John Esler shared their reasons for launching this fund and partnering with the Foundation.
