• John B. Sliney School Playground Project

The Branford Community Foundation recognizes that Branford is very fortunate to have a facility such as the ORCHARD HOUSE MEDICAL ADULT CENTER in its environs and is happy to support it. The Foundation gave a grant of $3000.00 to Orchard House to help offset the cost of a chair-lift van, a vehicle essential for the transportation of its clients.

MUSIKDS CT INC. is a non-profit children's arts-in-education organization established in 2003 by Colin Sheehan. It encourages musically talented students (4th-12th grades) by providing instruments, private lessons, camps, etc. to disadvantaged and talented Branford children. Another key component is to bring performing arts events to the community.
