The United Way of Northwest Connecticut was significantly impacted by the pandemic. It hindered our ability to meet with donors face-to-face, effectively share our story, and conduct our campaigns in the traditional manner.
As we emerged from the pandemic, we recognized the need to restructure how we fulfill our mission. In response, the board reassessed our operations and has taken several key steps:
Hired a new Executive Director
Elected a new Board Chair with 35 years of nonprofit experience
Recruited five new board members
Updated our bylaws and completed the 2022-2023 financial audit
Collaborated with other United Way organizations in the region to explore best practices and operational efficiencies, and reestablished communication with United Way of Connecticut
Developed a relaunch plan to engage agencies, corporate sponsors, leadership donors, and key stakeholders
Revamped the corporate partner sponsorship program
Welcomed the formation of an advisory council
United Way of Northwest Connecticut is dedicated to supporting our partner agencies and programs that make a meaningful impact in our communities, such as the VITA Tax program, Stock the Shelves, Warm the Children, Day of Caring, and advocacy for ALICE families.
We proudly serve 21 towns in Northwest Connecticut.

The Club earned more than $1100 selling tickets for its LOTTERY TREE and the winning ticket was drawn at the luncheon: Lindsay Burr from North Canaan! Congratulations to Lindsay and thank you to all who bought tickets to support the Club’s fundraiser. Also noted was that the SRC & Canaan Child Care Center’s jointly sponsored tree donated to Noble Horizon’s annual Festival of Trees raised more money than any other tree displayed!
The Club will recognize and celebrate its 75th Anniversary in 2024! Stay tuned for a variety of related announcements and activities.
Next Tuesday, Club members and their guests will gather for the annual Holiday Dinner, 6-8PM in the Learning Center at Noble Horizons.
