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.
