Why Community Works
FINDING SOLUTIONS TO
COMMUNITY PROBLEMS
TOGETHER WE:
Advocate for Social Change.
Community Works member agencies fight to change the underlying
conditions that cause social inequities. Community Works’
agencies address the root causes of problems facing our
communities.
Empower the Community.
Community Works believes that the people closest to a
problem often have the best ideas about how to fix it.
Member agencies provide people with the tools and information
they need to take control of their lives.
Support
the efforts of those who have the least access
to resources by promoting strategies for change developed
through community involvement. Donors empower those striving
to conserve the environment, promote education, affordable
healthcare, home ownership, safe neighborhoods, and better
employment opportunities. Donors also empower those advocating
to end discrimination based on race, gender, class, age,
sexual orientation and disability.
INVEST IN THE FUTURE
BY GIVING TO COMMUNITY WORKS
WHEN YOU GIVE TO COMMUNITY
WORKS:
You strengthen not just
one organization, but an entire community working for
social change and economic justice.
You maximize the impact
of your donation. Many Community
Works members are small, grassroots groups that have many
volunteers and limited financial resources. They are skilled
at making every dollar count. Because of our low overhead
costs, 85% of donor’s designated contributions flow
directly to our member organizations.
Your donation helps to
sustain and grow critical grass-roots groups.
Since Community Works gives member groups discretion in
how best to spend funds raised through Community Works,
your gift could be essential in keeping members’
doors open or enabling them to add new programs.
You give to an efficient
and transparent organization.
Community Works honors all donor designations to specific
Community Works agencies. Donors are encouraged to designate
their contributions to member agencies that they specifically
wish to support. General donations are distributed amongst
all members.
Community Works member groups are screened carefully every
year and are held to strict financial accountability standards.
This provides donors peace of mind, knowing that their
contributions are well managed.
Community Works is governed by a representative Board
of Directors consisting of member agency representatives
and community leaders. Board members are elected annually
and are responsible for all decisions concerning the operations
of Community Works.
You help strengthen an
entire community. All contributions
to Community Works stay here in Connecticut.
