Support

How Are We Funded?

As a non-profit organization, BSRCC is not supported by local tax dollars, but rather relies on the generosity of our community to sustain us.

The Annual Appeal raises funds to help with scholarships and to provide free and low-priced programs for youth, seniors, adults, and families. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to Berkshire South's annual campaign. All of our memberships are subsidized. 30% of the cost of membership is absorbed by the Center even before a member joins. For example, a family membership actually costs $1100, but is offered to the public at a yearly rate of $830.

We welcome any contributions; financial gifts or donations of time made by members of our broad community.

To contribute or for more information, please contact our Development Department.

Berkshire South is indebted to the following individuals
who donated their resources to our Annual Fundraiser,

Looking for Volunteers

The Center has several volunteer opportunities available, which will provide you with a meaningful and rewarding experience. If you have a few hours of time to spare each week and would like to make a difference in the life of our community consider becoming involved in our volunteer Program. Our volunteers find these opportunities very enriching as it provides them an opportunity to reach out to someone who needs a friend, a smile and an outlet for socialization. In helping others the volunteer finds a new sense of pride and joy that comes from helping someone in need.
