Collective Giving

Collective giving brings together people with shared interests to learn about community issues and to pool their resources, talents, and passion for a common cause. It is a powerful and inspiring way to amplify the reach and effectiveness of your giving, have fun, and make a meaningful impact in your community.

Choose Your Collective Philanthropy Path 

If you’re looking for a way to transform your giving into a force for lasting change and to connect with others who share your vision for the community, consider becoming part of the Waterbury Black Giving Circle, the Women’s Giving Circle, or the Pride in the Hills Fund. Each is a collective giving initiative hosted at and supported by Connecticut Community Foundation. Together, we can create a brighter, more equitable, and more inclusive community in Greater Waterbury and the Litchfield Hills.
