Shaping the Future of Fairfield County
The Community Foundation envisions a Fairfield County where communities are vibrant and sustainable, and all enjoy opportunities to participate and thrive.
To that end, we develop and lead initiatives that tackle critical regional issues. In addition, we help local nonprofit leaders strengthen their leadership and management skills so their organizations can be even more effective.
With the support of visionary contributors to our leadership work in the community, we:
- Research and identify critical local issues where philanthropy can make a significant difference
- Share our research and raise awareness
- Bring together community leaders, policy makers, nonprofit leaders and experts to collaborate on solutions
- Provide grants and recruit other funders
- Measure and evaluate progress, and promote necessary course corrections
Thanks to contributions to our Fund for Community Leadership, low-wage women with dependents are acquiring the education they need to move up to better paying jobs, and local nonprofits are becoming more effective and sustainable.
