Today is "G" Day


Be part of an historic event! On May 6 we are reigniting the spirit of philanthropy in America.

Hundreds of local organizations that provide vital services to the Greater New Haven region are asking for your support during national Give Day, May 6-7, sponsored by Give Local America, the Community Foundation for Greater New Haven and the Valley Community Foundation.

Give Local America commemorates the great work accomplished over the past 100 years by community foundations that connect people to causes they care about.  This 36-hour online fundraising day (from 8am on May 6 to 8pm on May 7) is an opportunity to recognize and support local nonprofits while helping them to attract new donors and build online fundraising capabilities for long-term success.  This event is a wonderful chance for everyone in our community to be a philanthropist.  Every donation can make a big difference.  In the past these giving days nationwide have generated more than $100 million for charity, attracted thousands of new donors, and increased nonprofits’ ability to interact and fundraise online.

All Great Give Day donations must be made online by debit or credit card during the 36-hour marathon give.  To make a donation to Shoreline Arts Alliance now please follow this link.  To check for other nonprofit organizations in the Greater New Haven & Naugatuck Valley communities who are participating in this campaign click here.  Each gift will be matched by the Community Foundation for Greater New Haven or the Valley Community Foundation.

Think about what your town or community would be like without the hundreds of nonprofits working tirelessly to provide services, support, and quality of life.  Thank them by making a donation today!
