The Plainville Community Fund at Main Street Community Foundation is a permanent resource for charitable programs and projects that was established in 2006 by a group of community leaders in Plainville to enhance the quality of life for town residents. Since 2006, Main Street Community Foundation has awarded over $118,000 in grants from the Fund, including $12,000 in grants in 2022. The Fund utilizes a Distribution Committee, made up of Plainville residents who bring a variety of life experiences to the table, to review grant applications and make funding recommendations on an annual basis.
