Welcome

Executive directors attend an NAI event.

Nonprofits: Looking to improve your operations? The Nonprofit Assistance Initiative can help you thrive!

The NAI is a joint program of the Connecticut Community Foundation and the United Way of Greater Waterbury to improve services to the community by helping nonprofits operate more effectively and efficiently. Most NAI services are FREE to agencies in our area.

NAI services are available to 501(c)3 nonprofits and certain municipal agencies that serve residents of Beacon Falls, Bethlehem, Bridgewater, Cheshire, Goshen, Litchfield, Middlebury, Morris, Naugatuck, New Milford, Oxford, Prospect, Roxbury, Southbury, Thomaston, Warren, Washington, Waterbury, Watertown, Wolcott, and Woodbury.

"Like the best guidance counselor in the world, the Connecticut Community Foundation, through its Nonprofit Assistance Initiative, has made it a priority to not only counsel and guide nonprofit groups but also to provide the tools necessary for finding funding and other resources."
