Give Local returns

Why should you participate in Give Local Greater Waterbury and Litchfield Hills?

Hosted by Connecticut Community Foundation and sponsored by Ion Bank Foundation for the eighth consecutive year, Give Local Greater Waterbury and Litchfield Hills will return in April to benefit the vital work of hundreds of nonprofit organizations in our region.

A fun and inspiring 36-hour online giving event, Give Local unites donors, businesses, and organizations in giving back to the communities where we live, work and play. During the give-a-thon, every dollar donated is stretched with bonus funds provided by Connecticut Community Foundation and generous sponsors, adding excitement and incentives, while raising essential funds for the work of local nonprofits.

Donors can contribute at www.GiveLocalCCF.org to participating nonprofits at any time during the event. For added incentive, each dollar donated will be boosted further with a percentage of bonus dollars and there are opportunities for nonprofits to win cash prizes throughout the event.

Since its inception, Give Local has raised over $7.2 million in unrestricted funding for the vital work of local nonprofit organizations.
