Types of Support

Within our guidelines, we consider the following requests:

1. General Operating Support


We will consider unrestricted general operating requests from organizations that:
• deliver effective programs in response to community needs;
• are financially stable;
• receive and provide strong leadership.


2. Program Support


We will consider requests to support programs that are highly effective and innovative and do not duplicate other programs or services.


3. Sponsorships


We will consider, on a limited basis, an event sponsorship request designed to raise funds to support an activity or program directly related to an organization's mission or purpose. Please check our Funding Calendar to plan properly for deadlines and Foundation board meetings. Contact Maryann Ott (203) 784-5148 or email mott@newalliancebank.com for more information.


4. Capital Campaigns


We will consider requests for capital support from organizations that meet all other funding criteria. Capital requests include:
• brick and mortar activities;
• equipment expenditures;
• facility construction;
• capital improvements.
