Philip Grzewinski has been the president and CEO of the United Way for 28 years and has held the same position at the Community Foundation for 18 years.
Philip Grzewinski, the head of both the United Way of North Central Massachusetts and the Community Foundation of North Central Massachusetts, will step down from both positions this summer.
Grzewinski has been the president and CEO of the United Way for 28 years and has held the same position at the Community Foundation for 18 years.
The boards of both Fitchburg organizations have formed search committees to find separate successors, the Community Foundation said in announcing Grzewinski's pending departure.
Grzewinski helped found the Community Foundation in 2001, and in that time has overseen the nonprofit's growth to more than $50 million in assets and 225 separate funds. The foundation has distributed more than $58 million in grants to the area during that time.
In Grzewinski's time leading the United Way, funding for the organization has tripled to $3.3 million.
Grzewinski has been recognized nationally for his leadership in founding the Tocqueville Society at the United Way of North Central Mass that has successfully raised large gifts to its annual campaigns, said Winfield Winfield Brown, the president and CEO of Heywood Hospital in Gardner, who chairs the United Way board.
"He has focused on giving to partner agencies and measuring grant outcomes," Brown said. "Phil has also helped the United Way to form new initiatives to reduce childhood hunger, to supplement basic needs for working families, to promote early childhood literacy and to provide emergency shelter.”
