Connecting donors, nonprofits, and neighbors to build a more equitable Greater New Haven community.
Seventy Audubon Street is not just an address. It is where donors who care deeply about Greater New Haven sit across the table from the nonprofits working hardest to serve it. The Community Foundation for Greater New Haven acts as the connective tissue between philanthropic intention and real community impact, channeling resources toward the organizations, scholarship recipients, and neighborhoods that need them most.
The staff here have earned a reputation for being genuinely knowledgeable and deeply networked across the region. Reviewers consistently describe an organization that works hard, listens carefully, and delivers. That reputation is built through year-round engagement: workshops, funding resources, and leadership programs that keep local organizations informed and equipped to grow.
With a 4.6-star rating and a clear focus on basic needs and equity, this is a foundation that measures success not in assets managed but in missions realized. If you have resources to give, a cause to fund, or a nonprofit to strengthen, this is the place to start that conversation.
The Foundation offers a broad range of philanthropic and capacity-building services, all designed to multiply the impact of every dollar directed toward the Greater New Haven region. Donors can establish donor advised funds, arrange charitable estate and planned giving, or direct resources through basic needs and equity-focused funds. Professional advisors working with charitable clients will find dedicated support here as well.
On the nonprofit side, the Foundation provides grantmaking to nonprofits, mission investments and nonprofit loans, and neighborhood leadership programs that develop the next generation of community leaders. Scholarships open doors for students across the region. The Foundation's nonprofit management workshops give organizations the operational tools to translate good intentions into lasting results.
Every service offered connects back to a single idea: that a well-resourced, well-led network of local organizations lifts the entire region. Whether you are a donor exploring your options or an executive director looking to grow, the Foundation's staff are ready to help you find the right path forward.
