Support DIAL/SELF Current funding sources for DIAL/SELF include; Massachusetts Department of Children & Families, U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, Corporation for National & Community Service, Massachusetts Service Alliance, Community Foundation of Western Massachusetts, Greater Worcester Community Foundation, TD BankNorth Foundation, Franklin County United Way Special Grants, donations from local businesses and community members. While the majority of program funding comes from contracts, most contracts require a “community match.” This is either cash or services that are required from the community in order to receive Federal, State or private foundation support. That is why community donations are so important. Your donations help to leverage all the other “outside” funding that comes back into the community. There are many ways to help out… Donate to Our Annual Appeal You can make a donation on-line through our partners at Network for Good by clicking here or on any of the “donate now” buttons throughout the web site. You can also send a check or money order to: Or call Phil Ringwood, Sr. Administrator for Operations, at 413-774-7054 x115 to discuss other options. Youth Investment Fund A Socially Responsible Investment (SRI) Opportunity. DIAL/SELF Youth and Community Services occasionally borrows funds for the expansion of programs, social enterprise seed funding, working capital, and bridge financing. Potential lenders include residents, businesses, churches, and non-profit groups who want to support community-based services for youth, but who would prefer at this time to lend money for this purpose rather than make an outright gift.
