The Region We Serve
Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation serves Berkshire, Columbia, northeast Dutchess and northwest Litchfield counties. This unique area where New York, Connecticut and Massachusetts meet contains 2,200 square miles of natural beauty and small-town charm that is home to nearly 230,000 people.
The Jane Lloyd Fund was established at Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation to benefit cancer patients and their families with financial need who reside or work in the Connecticut towns of Canaan, Cornwall, Falls Village, Kent, Salisbury and Sharon.
The Jane Lloyd Fund supports patients’ day-to-day living expenses. These may include the costs of medical transportation, housing, food, utilities and other associated expenses that help the patient heal in a supportive environment or depart this life comfortably with friends and family.
The Fund was founded by Jane Lloyd’s family with the help of Erin Selby, Tracie Shannon and Tanya Tedder. They wanted to respond to the generosity of community members who helped Jane when she was in need, so that others in the community might experience the same sense of well-being in their own time of great sadness and need.
