Why Be on the Map?
According to CCP's member survey, members value better data on grantmaking in Connecticut. If you value it, join thirty-seven CCP members who have reported or committed to reporting their grants. When you share your grant information, you make a powerful contribution to data initiatives that CCP has undertaken to tell the story of philanthropy in Connecticut. Your data powers:
- Connecticut Foundation Stats, our regional dashboard, which aims to give you the most up-to-date picture of funding in Connecticut.
- The annual Connecticut Giving Report, which provides an authoritative overview of giving in our state.
- Connecticut Foundation Maps, a highly interactive, searchable mapping platform that lets you visualize data at the grants level. This is accessible to all CCP members (CCP member login required). This tool helps us answer questions such as: Who is funding capacity building in the state? Which organizations are tackling equity issues? Which organizations are receiving funds for early childhood programs?
Sharing your data for all of these initiatives is easy with the Foundation Center Updater. Simply register for an account and follow the prompts. You can learn more about the specifics of sharing your data on CCP's Get on the Map webpage, including a grant data template, information on the required and preferred fields, and how-to videos and materials. Share your data today!
If you have any questions about how to share your data with Foundation Center, contact Laurie Allen, Director of Communications, 860-525-5585.

Philanthropy 101 Review
CCP presented the last module of the Philanthropy 101 series this past July. The five interactive modules were presented one a month--March through July--and provided a historical overview of philanthropy, reviewed foundation governance and legal issues, explained the grantmaking process, debated current big issues in philanthropy, and explored roles and power dynamics. Fifty-seven CCP members participated in one or more modules.
"I think the series was great. There’s a good mix between instruction, information, conversation, and fun!" – Kaylah Smith, Community Foundation of Greater New Britain
"There was adequate and ample time to network and discuss best practices which was great. I look forward to utilizing the benefit of the cohort model." – Mercedes MacAlpine, Perrin Family Foundation
"I really appreciate the 101 course! Great resource. The interactive aspect and input from the group during discussions shows how it’s being used in real situations." – Anonymous
Many individuals were able to participate in multiple sessions. But special congratulations go to nine individuals who participated in all five Philanthropy 101 Modules.

ECFC Releases New Connecticut Family Engagement Paper
The Early Childhood Funder Collaborative (ECFC), a project of CCP, is pleased to share its new paper, Full, Equal, and Equitable Partnerships with Families: Connecticut’s Definition and Framework for Family Engagement. The paper is a collaborative effort with the Connecticut State Department of Education (CSDE), Connecticut Office of Early Childhood, and ECFC. The purpose of Connecticut’s common definition and framework of family engagement is to encourage shared understanding and collaboration, making it easy for all parties – educators, providers, partners, and families – to understand what is expected of them and what effective practice looks like. The hope is that this will lead to a robust culture of partnership between families and professionals throughout all education and human service programs. The paper, which helps to facilitate the Every Student Succeeds Act of 2016, presents family engagement definitions, guiding principles, and recommendations for capacity-building. Also included are comparative charts with examples of evidence-based high-impact strategies for engaging families with children in early childhood programs, elementary schools, after school programs, and middle and high schools. Visit the ECFC webpage for additional reports >>

ALICE, stands for - Asset Limited Income Constrained Employed. United Ways in Connecticut and seventeen other states are promoting the ALICE initiative to place a spotlight on a large population of residents who are working, but have difficulty affording a basic Household Survival Budget. The new ALICE Report uses data from a variety of sources, including the U.S. Census and the American Community Survey to quantify the number of households in Connecticut's workforce that are struggling financially. The new ALICE Report on financial hardship takes a deeper look at the growing financial challenges that require more and more working and middle class families to make tough choices every day as they manage their household budget.

Medicaid's Role in Connecticut's Economy, Health System, and Budget >>
Medicaid is best known as a health insurance program that provides coverage to low-income Connecticut residents, but it also plays a key role in the state’s economy, budget, and ability to weather economic challenges, according to a report released this week by the Connecticut Health Foundation. The report, by the Georgetown University Center for Children and Families, finds that Medicaid is deeply woven into Connecticut’s health care system and plays a major role in a sector of the economy that has been central to job growth in the state.“It is important for policymakers to understand the full impact of Medicaid in the state, particularly as they face difficult budget decisions,” said the report’s author, Edwin Park, research professor at the Georgetown University Center for Children and Families. “Medicaid plays a key role in the state’s economy and is linked to long-term positive outcomes for children like better health, obtaining a college degree, and higher earnings.” Read the report >>

CORPORATE
Read ACCP's (Association of Corporate Citizenship Professionals) latest blog post Corporate Social Responsibility: A Brief History: "Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has come a long way, morphing from a nice thing to do to what it is today: a necessity for a successful business. It wasn’t until the 1940s, however, that businesses, and not their owners or shareholders, could support charities."
DIVERSITY
New research from the Center for Effective Philanthropy (CEP), Nonprofit Diversity Efforts: Current Practices and the Role of Foundations, shares nonprofit leaders’ views on their diversity pursuits — and how their foundation funders are interacting with or supporting them in this area. Based on survey responses from 205 nonprofit leaders, the report shares data on topics such as how diversity relates to the work of nonprofits, how foundations are involved in the diversity efforts of grantees, and what demographic information nonprofits and funders alike are collecting — and how that information is used.
VALUES
Dissonance & Disconnects, Emerging Practitioners in Philanthropy's (EPIP) survey report, examines the thoughts and feelings of early- and mid- career practitioners on philanthropy and their futures in it. The report focuses on themes including participants’ experiences at work, the alignment between their institutions’ practices and their values, and how participants see their futures in the sector. It is meant to support conversation among emerging leaders and senior executives about foundation practices and how they can better unlock talent up and down the org chart while also bringing foundations into deeper alignment with their values.
