Reliant foundation surpasses $250K in grants
Worcester-based Reliant Medical Group Foundation, the charitable arm of Reliant Medical Group, said it has reached its goal of distributing more than $250,000 in annual grants to promote community health, a record for the organization.
The foundation said it issued $106,000 to various local organizations, pushing it past the $250,000 mark for the year. The grants are awarded to non-profit organizations within Reliant’s Central Massachusetts service area to help improve the health and well-being of the population, with a primary focus on battling childhood obesity.
“We are proud to be able to grant more than $100,000 back to programs in our community this fall, thanks to the overwhelming generosity of our donors,” said Kelsa Zereski, director of philanthropy at Reliant Medical Group.
The foundation’s grant-making program was refocused on battling childhood obesity in 2008 and has since funded programs at 55 local charities. In the latest round of grants, 21 organizations received money, including six first-time awardees.
Among the latest awardees are organization such as Bancroft School in Worcester; the Boys & Girls Club of Worcester; Cleghorn Neighborhood Center in Fitchburg; Girls Inc. of Worcester; Worcester Jewish Community Center, and the YWCA of Central Massachusetts.
