Powerful Giving
When you choose to invest in the future of your community, you want to work with someone who knows the territory.
The Connecticut Community Foundation has been helping people give back to their communities for nearly 90 years.
We can help you support the causes that matter most to you — whether your interest is human services, education, the environment, health care, the arts, a favorite nonprofit organization or the most pressing and ever-changing issues that affect our community.
Do you want to…
• support the work of Connecticut Community Foundation
• establish a fund
• make a gift in your will or retirement plan
• contribute to an existing fund
• volunteer your time and talent
• learn more about giving at CCF
• explore CCF’s leadership efforts
• find out how CCF can help you administer your private foundation
To find out more, please contact a member of our Outreach and Development staff.
Meet some of our donors and learn why they give to the Connecticut Community Foundation.
"The work of the Connecticut Community Foundation is made possible by our donors. Some are wealthy individuals. Others, of modest means, make a bequest to the Foundation leaving their life savings to the community. We are stewards of those funds, with the responsibility of awarding the annual income in a manner that meets the donor's intent."
- past president and former trustee Charles Henry, attorney, Kernan & Henry, Southbury, CT
