2016 Regional Philantropic Opportunities: GIVING GUIDE
To Our Readers
While philanthropy is a year-round activity, the holidays are a time when many think about those who are most in need, and how, in general, they can help make Western Mass, a better community for all who call this region home.
To help individuals, groups, and businesses make effective decisions when it comes to philanthropy, BusinessWest and the
These profiles are intended to educate readers about what these groups are doing, and also to inspire them to provide the critical support (which comes in many different forms) that these organizations and so many others desperately need.
Indeed, these 21 nonprofit profiles list not only giving opportunities - everything from online donations to corporate sponsorships - but also volunteer opportunities.
And it is through volunteering, as much as with a cash donation, that individuals can help a nonprofit carry out its important mission within our community.
BusinessWest and HCN launched the Giving Guide in 2011 to essentially harness this region's incredibly strong track record of philanthropy and support the organizations dedicated to helping those in need.
The publication is designed to inform, but also to encourage individuals and organizations to find new and imaginative ways to give back. We are confident that it will succeed with both of these assignments.

MISSION STATEMENT
The BHN mission is to help individuals, families, and communities improve the quality of lives for those with behavioral and developmental challenges.
WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO
BHN's service provision is grounded in the core values of individual worth and focus of each family or individual it serves. It recognizes program participants as the experts of their lives, needs, and strengths. Serving is not just about clinical treatment, but also about providing opportunities to learn new skills, become employed, and achieve a higher quality of life.
BHN helps people embrace the challenges inherent in having a disability, mental-health issue, or substance-use disorder, guiding them to recognize and develop their strengths as they move into long-term recovery. BHN serves as an employer of choice for many in recovery, or those with lived experiences.
People are helped to move forward in their preferred lives by others who have been there too - those who have overcome their own similar challenges. BHN services help people beyond treatment as they move forward utilizing the skills, knowledge, and achievements gained while in care at BHN.
GIVING OPPORTUNITIES
BHN welcomes the opportunity to partner with the community to support its programs via private or corporate donations either one time or monthly or via donor bequests.
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
Volunteers are welcome to participate in providing financial-literacy training to women in BHN's domesticviolence program and also participate in its annual Puerto Rican Day parade.

WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO
The two-day signature program intentionally brings together people of different backgrounds, different industries, different ethnicities, and other dimensions of diversity. This results in building inter-organizational capacity by creating linked strategies and alliances to address racism beyond the traditional work people are accustomed to doing in their own silos.
The organization creates a community-level dialogue about the intersection of race and history of racism that raises awareness on a community level, but also challenges how people define diversity, and how people view themselves and others.
As this work progresses, it is expected that these leaders will expand the circle of racial healing in the Valley through a ripple effect that will continue and grow. The goal is to continue to offer five Healing Racism sessions per year, capture best practices, and make those measureable successes available for others to use as benchmarks.
To date, the organization has conducted 24 Healing Racism seminars, hosted follow-up social-learning gatherings with Healing Racism alumni, and served more than 450 leaders from more than 160 organizations.
