Every Gift Enhances The Life Of A Senior.
You can follow in the tradition of the Berkshires’ great philanthropists with even a small donation to Berkshire Place. Since 1888, when the Berkshire County Home for Aged Women was established in accordance with the wishes of Zenas Marshall Crane (1815-1887), son of Crane & Company founder, Zenas Crane, our only mission is to enhance the lives of seniors in our community.
Your gift today makes it possible for us to offer best-in-class programs and services that ensure the quality of life, health, and well-being of every individual we serve. We help our residents lead meaningful lives with choice and dignity.
We welcome gifts of any amount. Your gift is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. Our tax identification numbers are as follows:
