Support nonprofits through Northwest Corner Gives

CORRECTION: A previous version of this article referred to the Northwest CT Community Foundation by the wrong name.

Northwest CT Community Foundation’s matching grant program has selected 32 nonprofits to support this summer.

Among the groups is Sharon Hospital, Little Guild animal shelter, Salisbury’s SOAR enrichment program, Housatonic Youth Service Bureau, Grumbling Gryphons Children’s Theater, and Housatonic Child Care Center.

The matching campaign, known as Northwest Corner Gives, set varied goal amounts for each organization. NCCF will match donations up to the set amount through July 28.

Grumbling Gryphons was selected for a $10,000 campaign, meaning the first $5,000 will be matched. Artistic Director Leslie Elias said the funding helps with operational support and will be used for year-round theatrical programming, such as the upcoming Aug. 3 performance of “The Snow Queen” at Scoville Memorial Library in Salisbury.

Sharon Hospital seeks to raise $25,000 to support its Senior Meals program. Offering individuals aged 65 and older a nutritious meal—including entrée, two sides, soup or salad, dessert and a beverage—for just $5, the program provides meals during Hospital café hours but can expand with additional staffing.
