Together, We Build Tomorrow

Western Mass Forward

In Western Massachusetts, we're creating our own opportunities and building a stronger community from the inside out. For 11 years, Tech Foundry has transformed lives – from people who couldn't use a mouse to certified IT instructors earning $45,000+, from those facing homelessness to skilled professionals strengthening our local economy.

We've trained over 500 IT professionals and connected them with more than 100 regional businesses. Now we're raising $100,000 by December 31st to secure the future of the Holyoke Tech Hub and expand our proven model across the region. Your donation is an investment in a self-sufficient Western Mass – helping people build careers, supporting local employers, and ensuring our community's success is truly our own.

The Critical Moment

Federal funding cuts threaten to close our Holyoke Tech Hub's doors forever. But this challenge is also our opportunity to prove what Western Massachusetts is made of—a community that rises together and ensures no neighbor gets left behind.
