The Community Foundation for Greater New Haven’s Event Sponsorship program supports two types of activities: one-day nonprofit fundraising events and gatherings organized by neighborhood or community groups to encourage resident engagement. Nonprofit fundraising events may take place in person, virtually, or in a hybrid format. The program provides event-focused support for nonprofit fundraising activities and gatherings that bring residents together.
This sponsorship program is distinct from the Foundation’s support for learning and training activities. Conferences, seminars, workshops, and other educational events are not eligible for Event Sponsorship; requests for assistance hosting these activities can instead be considered through the Foundation’s Small Grants process.
