A gift to the Branford Community Foundation is an investment in your town. Our endowed funds, made up of gifts from people such as you,produce revenue to support innovative local programs and agencies providing assistance to Branford residence. Less than 10% of our money goes to administrative expenses and the little that does is for a money manager, an auditor, and efforts to stay in touch with our community.

We pride ourselves on our spending policy; we help those with needs often unseen by others.
