Local Fundraising

Local Goods & Gifts Program

Homegrown Fundraising for Schools and Organizations

Berkshire Grown unites makers of locally-produced goods (from fresh bread to locally roasted coffee, from chocolates to maple syrup) with schools and other fund-raising organizers. Selling locally-produced goods for fund-raising benefits our local economy, benefits your school or organization, benefits the buyers of the goods, promotes civic pride and just plain feels right. Your organization buys at wholesale prices, sells at retail, keeps the profit and makes our community stronger.
