Directory of Community Foundations Serving Connecticut

Publication date:

December, 2022

Community foundations provide flexibility and expertise to donors who are committed to their local communities. They are local charitable entities that may administer a number of endowed funds primarily for local purposes, to solve community or regional problems, and to improve the lives of people in their geographic area.

The 21 community foundations serving Connecticut cover the entire state. They range from small foundations with no staff that generally serve one town, to foundations that serve many towns in a region and are among the largest of their kind in the country.
