The Spirit of New Canaan was in full bloom at our spring luncheon honoring Meg Domino, Kathie & Leo Karl, Jr., Chris Schipper and founder, Tom McLane. These inspirational residents drew a huge crowd of over 400 who joined us to honor these truly remarkable individuals!

On May 23rd the Foundation awarded $650K to 80 local nonprofits serving a range of needs from health and human services, to arts and culture, to youth programs. The awards represent the conclusion to months of dedication of over 100 community volunteers.
