The Foundation Prioritizes Civic Health
Supports Civic Participation, Education, Resident Leadership
Strengthening the civic health of Greater New Haven is central to The Foundation’s strategy to advance opportunity and equity.
“Philanthropy is strongest when it strengthens the civic fabric of a community, connecting people to one another, building understanding and empowering residents to shape the future of the place they call home,” says President & CEO Karen DuBois-Walton.
The Foundation’s funding for civic health includes grants for local journalism, social health data research, civics education and cultural activities. As a convener, The Foundation is deepening its commitment to bring people together to become engaged, learn and take action.
