Impact Fairfield County Pooled Its Members’ Donations to Give to These Nonprofits
|
Impact Fairfield County, the area’s premier women’s collective giving organization, has awarded two $100,000 grants to Fairfield County nonprofits: Boys & Girls Club of Stamford (“BGCS”) and Filling in the Blanks (“FITB”). The winners of the two grants were selected by a vote of Impact FFC’s 281-women membership at their Grant Awards Celebration in Darien on May 8. — an announcement from Impact Fairfield County
Each grantee will also receive an additional $10,500 in unrestricted funding. In addition, Impact FFC awarded three $20,000 unrestricted general operating grants to the other finalists: Jewish Family Services of Greenwich, Optimus Health Care, and Teaching Matters. This year’s finalists’ applications requested support for early literacy programming, transportation for a human services agency, after-school youth counseling, maternal health navigation, and mobile food pantry services.
