How We Work
We create solutions to Greater New Haven’s most pressing challenges in the areas of education, health, and financial stability. Every day, we:
- Connect our community knowledge with strong relationships with partners
- Take an action-oriented outlook
- Ground our work in racial and social justice
Every person deserves the opportunity to live to their full potential, and together with partners, donors and volunteers work to make that happen.

When someone has strong support in one of these areas, it can make it easier to overcome challenges in the others.
