Sunday, June 12, 2022 Family Reunification Month, Petit Family FoundationDuring this Family Reunification Month of June, Connecticut CASA recently received a grant from the Petit Family Foundation. We learned, too, of a grant from the TEGNA Foundation. Diversifying Connecticut CASA's financial base in this way is important as the organization continues to grow, depending on sources including public dollars, foundation grants, and individual donations. Many thanks to all! Monday, May 30, 2022 Reflections of a Reunion PanelWith mass-shooting atrocities in Buffalo and Uvalde--not to mention the Ukraine war and much else--on our minds, my undergraduate class just held a reunion. It was good to see old friends and to get better acquainted with other classmates from years ago. Recognizing the scale of challenges--from racism, inequality, gun violence and democratic truth in the U.S., to war and climate change beyond--it was inspiring to be on a reunion panel with Makunda Abdul-Mbacke, Marco A. Davis, Lillian Diaz Gray, and Julie Horowitz.An accomplished audience participated--seeking new ways to connect generations and to engage for the better with their communities and the world, whether through the private sector, nonprofits, or government. Thursday, May 12, 2022 The Great Give, 2022--and Thanks to Donors, AnytimeThank you to everyone who has donated to support Connecticut CASA's professional preparation of its volunteer court-appointed special advocates for children! Among the ways to support our work is through the Great Give, where our organization reached its 2022 goals and was included in the Community Foundation for Greater New Haven's subsequent news release. That news then ran in the New Haven Independent. As the Community Foundation noted, there is also a year-round "Give Greater" platform--where Connecticut CASA has a profile. Whether there or via Connecticut CASA's own website (or by check, donor-advised fund, etc.), donations are of course welcomed anytime! Saturday, April 2, 2022 Child Abuse Prevention, Volunteer MonthFor April--recognized as Child Abuse Prevention as well as Volunteer Month--I wrote an opinion piece published in the Connecticut Mirror and the New Haven Register, among other Hearst CT Media newspapers. Saturday, March 12, 2022 Donor Generosity, and How Private/Nonprofit Institutions Can Complement Public OnesGroton School's Quarterly alumni/ae magazine includes a piece on my work with Connecticut CASA. The interview provided a chance to reflect on my experience of benefiting from financial aid and my appreciation of how the generosity of donors--and leadership from Temba Maqubela among others--has expanded such aid over the decades. There is also a keen sense of how such private options are merely a complement to--not a substitute for--investment in public institutions. |
