#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. In its 15th year, it 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 —.
Find participating Wallingford nonprofit profiles and donations buttons [here]. In this 36-hour, nonprofits have opportunities to win prizes when individuals collectively show support. The event begins at 8 a.m. May 1rd & ends at 8 p.m. May 2nd.

We hope you enjoy following gG, the inspirational ‘be the seed’ acorn, who visited all our participating nonprofits. We will share the stories about the seeds you planted too.
Thank you for counting down the days with us on our gG journey and contributing during #TheGreatGive on May 3th & 4th 2023. In prior years, Wallingford nonprofits did not have much success with this fundraising & awareness-raising event. We set out to change that in 2022. In 2022, through this collaboration, $50,000 was raised collectively, more than doubling prior years’ independent efforts. We look forward to your grassroots support in 2023
