CT Philanthropy Delegation Meets with Congressmen at Foundations on the Hill
Last week, a CT Philanthropy delegation visited Washington, DC during Foundations on the Hill (FOTH), a two-day annual event that brings foundations leaders to meetings with Congress and White House staff about key issues of importance to foundations and philanthropy. The delegation was comprised of Co-Captains David Davison, trustee and former president of American Savings Foundation, and CCP President Maggie Osborn, along with CCP members Jim Williamson, president of the Community Foundation of New Britain and Juanita James, president & CEO of Fairfield County's Community Foundation.
The purpose of FOTH is to inform and educate Congress about philanthropy; create visibility for foundations and philanthropy on Capitol Hill; advocate on issues affecting foundations; and encourage Congress to view foundations as resources on key public policy issues. FOTH helps keep legislators familiar with philanthropy and lays the ground work for when issues and bills concerning the sector come to the floor.
Currently several bills concerning tax and regulatory issues have been introduced to the House (The Grow Philanthropy Act - HR 4907 and Private Foundation Excise Tax Simplification Act of 2015 - HR 640) and Senate (Charities Helping Americans Regularly Throughout the Year Act - S 2750).
“I’ve attended FOTH many times in the past, but this year’s meetings with our state's Congressional delegation and their staff members were especially worthwhile," commented David Davison. "Senator Murphy, Congressman Larson and Congressman Himes were each able to spend time with us to discuss our concerns and share ideas. It is a genuine American experience to get face to face with our elected leaders and be part of the never-ending, sometimes frustrating, always fascinating democratic process. It was an honor to help represent the CCP membership this year along with Juanita, Jim and Maggie."
FOTH is annually hosted by The Forum of Regional Associations of Grantmakers (The Forum) in partnership with the Council on Foundations (COF) and the Philanthropy Roundtable.
CCP Facilitates Working Cities Challenge for Connecticut
Connecticut Council for Philanthropy (CCP) has played a significant role as the catalyst and aggregator of matching funds from the private sector for the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston’s Working Cities Challenge competition. Connecticut is the latest state participating in the competition, an economic development effort that builds cross-sector collaboration and leadership to solve challenges affecting urban communities.
As part of this initiative, cities in Connecticut will have the ability to apply for competitive funding to be used toward addressing local issues in a sector of their choosing, be it education, workforce development, small business development, or other areas that can improve economic outcomes for residents.
Funding for the competition prize awards will be provided both by the State of Connecticut, which has committed $1 million, and an additional $2 million commitment from private partners. The Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, The Kresge Foundation, Living Cities, NeighborWorks America, The United Illuminating Company, Stanley Black & Decker, Boehringer Ingelheim, Travelers Companies, Inc., Hartford Foundation for Public Giving, Webster Bank, Eversource Energy, Liberty Bank Foundation, Hartford HealthCare, Barnes Group, Hoffman BMW of Watertown/Hoffman Auto Group, United Technologies Corp., Charter Communications, and Fairfield County’s Community Foundation have all committed to participating in the challenge. CCP members are linked.
“This Working Cities Challenge is about delivering collaborative, transformative projects that will improve the economic outcomes in our cities, creating strong, resilient, and inclusive communities. These funds will be geared towards communities with a disproportionate number of low and moderate-income individuals, with the goal of improving our cities and improving our economy,” Governor Malloy said. “To build a stronger Connecticut, we must build upon the strengths of our urban areas, and I commend the Boston Fed for their leadership on this effort. We look forward to working with them in support of Connecticut and cannot thank our private partners enough for their participation.”
The Boston Fed will lead the competition, providing technical support and staff resources. A steering committee composed of local and national partners will determine the cities in Connecticut that will be eligible to apply. An independent, expert jury that does not include the Boston Fed will select winning cities.
“Collaboration among the nonprofit, private, public and philanthropic sectors and residents is fundamental to ensuring our communities thrive,” Linda J. Kelly, President of the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving, said. “We are proud to support the Working Cities Challenge as a proven approach for the coordination across multiple systems and stakeholders that is necessary to strengthen our urban centers and benefit the entire state.”

D5 Publishes "State of the Work" in Advancing Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in Philanthropy
D5, a five-year coalition to advance philanthropy’s diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), has published their final State of the Work, an annual report on the progress the field has made in DEI. The report features stories about leaders in foundations and other philanthropic organizations taking meaningful action to advance DEI.
“Storytelling is one of the most powerful ways to inspire action and change. We hope people working within foundations—whether they are a CEO, an HR manager or a program officer—draw on the important lessons from these stories, and apply them to their own unique situations,” said Kelly Brown, D5 Director.
The people and organizations featured in this year’s State of the Work include CCP member the William Caspar Graustein Memorial Fund.
D5 has worked to help foundations and other philanthropic organizations recruit diverse leaders, identify the best actions for organizations to take, increase funding to diverse communities and improve data collection and transparency.
Leadership Study Shows Fragile State of Nonprofits in Hartford-area and New England
Hartford Foundation for Public Giving, recently commissioned a Hartford-area Brief of Third Sector New England's report, Leadership New England: Essential Shifts for a Thriving Nonprofit Sector. The Brief compares Hartford-area and New England survey responses of leaders and board members in order to learn what challenges nonprofits are facing when it comes to leadership. Many of the Hartford-area findings mirror the New England statistics, with responses concerning leadership stability and money show the fragile state of nonprofits:
- 66% of nonprofit leaders expect to leave within 5 years
- fund development is the leaders’ number one challenge
- 57% report three months or less of cash on hand
Hartford-area responses however, were significantly better that New England reposes on having a succession plan in place and having effective organizational structures and systems.

Uninsured to Benefit from Health Coach Program
Boehringer Ingelheim Cares Foundation and AmeriCares recently launched a new Health Coach Program at the Boehringer Ingelheim AmeriCares Free Clinic in Danbury, for uninsured patients with chronic disease. The primary role of the AmeriCares health coaches is to equip patients who are committed to improve their health with the knowledge, skills and confidence to better manage high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes and other chronic conditions. The Foundation is providing financial support for two health coaches at the clinic, which serves more than 1,200 low-income, uninsured patients annually. Patients receive comprehensive primary care services including medications, lab work and diagnostic testing all at no cost.
“Staying healthy means more than just taking your medicine; it also means sticking to an exercise regimen, eating right, and working with a team of healthcare providers to monitor and track your health. But with the challenges of everyday life, it’s not easy,” said Karen Gottlieb, executive director, AmeriCares Free Clinics. “We are excited to partner with Boehringer Ingelheim Cares Foundation on this important AmeriCares program – by providing additional education and resources, we can improve a patient’s chance of success.”
“We have a long-standing partnership with AmeriCares and are proud to build on the strength of our existing programs to help with one of the hardest aspects of healthy living – behavior change,” said Lilly Ackley, president, Boehringer Ingelheim Cares Foundation. “Health adherence is central to a patient’s overall success, and by putting resources in place to improve it, we are working together towards a healthier community.” Read more >>
