Honor a Loved One with a Tribute Gift and Join the Nettie J. Dayton Circle

"When you create a fund to honor someone, you transform gratitude into legacy."
- Linda Estacion, CAP^®
Senior Director of Development and Donor Services

Tribute gifts have become particularly popular in recent years as donors seek ways to honor their loved ones. You can endow a named fund with The Community Foundation for Greater New Haven that stands in permanent tribute to a parent, spouse or other beloved family member. The fund can be in your own name as well. You can designate the named fund to support a particular nonprofit or program.

Please contact us for more information about tribute gifts with The Community Foundation for Greater New Haven.
