Community Investment
The Community Fund thanks the 50 community volunteers who participated in allocations this Spring!
Our allocations panel volunteers do the due diligence for you and help our Allocations Executive Committee and Board make informed grant decisions so that all your donations provide the greatest impact in the community.
Community Collaboration
Results of the second school-wide asset survey of our 7th - 12th graders are in.
Thriving Youth: Connected Community (TYCC) continues to support the positive development of our youth population and to help our kids grow up healthy, caring, and responsible. The group is making presentations to town groups around the community and sharing the survey of "assets" of our children.
In addition, the Youth Asset Team has been involved in a variety of school and community activities to build assets - from speaking to the Board of Education and Board of Finance to sponsoring "get-to-know you" breakfasts between students and faculty at Darien High School.
