Our Mission… Building a legacy through philanthropy and stewardship to strengthen our community.
Since 1989, the Fairfield County Foundation has helped donors create lasting charitable legacies that carry on their names, their values and their priorities. Within the Foundation are more than 270 individual charitable funds, each created by donors to address those local causes they are most passionate about. Today, Foundation grants support the arts, children’s programs, health and wellness projects, community development, academics and much more. From scholarships for deserving Fairfield County youth and equipment to keep people fit and healthy, to improvements to green spaces throughout our county and grants to feed the hungry, the Fairfield County Foundation touches every member of our community in some way.
