"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." — Margaret Mead

Welcome to the Branford Community Foundation’s website. As we enter this twenty-first century, the Branford Community Foundation’s overall mission remains the improvement in quality of life for Branford, its institutions, and its citizenry. After two and a half decades of serving Branford, the Foundation continues to cultivate the impetus to attain new goals to further meet the ever-present needs of our town.

The Branford Community Foundation, founded in 1980, is a public, nonprofit, tax exempt, charitable trust. It provides an administrative, philanthropic service - a means by which public-spirited citizens may make gifts or bequests, the income from which is distributed for educational, cultural, health, social and civic needs.

To learn more about the Foundation, please browse our web site, or download a copy of our newsletter Reaching Out.

COMMUNITY DINING ROOM
Recently, the Community Dining Room received a $2,000 donation from the Branford Community Foundation to provide nutritional support for area residents. During the present economic downturn increasing numbers of our neighbors are in need of food support to help stretch their budgets. The Community Dining Room works to assure all persons have access to food at all times by providing nutritional programs for individuals, families and children and home delivered meals for older adults and chronically ill persons unable to adequately provide for themselves.

BRANFORD FOOD COUNCIL
The Branford Food Council is a nonprofit, volunteer organization that supplies groceries to approximately 155 Branford families currently in need of assistance. Donations are down this year, but the Food Council has maintained a consistent supply of groceries thanks to the generosity of the Branford Community Foundation and others.
