#TheGreatGive06492 is the coming together of several Wallingford nonprofits, who collaborate throughout the year, in an annual community-centric fundraiser and ‘get-to-know-us better’ experience. Many nonprofits in the Greater New Haven Area are seeking gifts from individual donors during the annual Community Foundation of Greater New Haven [Online] giving event: The Great Give is designed to raise both the visibility of and resources for, local nonprofits.
What makes #TheGreatGive06492 in Wallingford different is our ‘coming together’ message. We encourage everyone to give to all participating nonprofits. It helps to reinforce the idea of being in community together and amplifies that aspect of our work throughout the year. If grassroots contributors connect with this idea annually, we can thrive together. Five dollars can be the beginning of a relationship. Building relationships within our community is just as important as a financial gift. We are stronger together. We all want you to be part of “What we do together” starting with #TheGreatGive06492.
A grassroots gift of $5 to each of #theGreatGive06492 can —.
