You can contribute online to any of our charitable funds safely and securely. Your gift is tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law and you will receive an acknowledgement electronically for your tax records.
Our online giving page allows you to make a donation to the Community Foundation’s priority funds and/or your own or another specific named fund.
A gift to the Community Leadership Fund, which helps advance our strategic efforts to empower youth, promote basic needs and rights, preserve the environment, and advance animal welfare. It also helps us bring together people and organizations in powerful partnerships that build up our region’s nonprofits.
A gift to the Fund for Racial Justice will advance racial equity, support racial justice organizing and advocacy and allocate flexible resources to organizations and movements led by Black, Indigenous and people of color in Eastern Connecticut.
A gift to the President’s Discretionary Fund, which enables the Foundation to step up when leadership is needed and to get behind innovative projects as they arise.
The Neighbors for Neighbors Fund is a COVID-19 relief and recovery fund. Coordinating with the United Way of Southeastern Connecticut and the United Way of Central and Northeast Connecticut, and in partnership with other community partners and caring residents like you, the Fund provides flexible resources to organizations throughout Eastern Connecticut that serve our residents, especially those who are disproportionately affected by the ongoing pandemic.
You may wish to give to one of the other funds listed above, or consider creating your own fund or a legacy plan at the Community Foundation.
