Volunteering

Our volunteers are the heartbeat of the New Canaan Community Foundation!

We are so grateful to the 150+ local residents who take the time to make a meaningful impact on our community each year with NCCF.

We offer a range of opportunities for you to strengthen our community by volunteering your time.

  • Our grant review volunteers work in teams to review grant proposals, attend site visits, and ultimately recommend which grants to fund and at what level.

  • These volunteers help plan and execute our Spring Luncheons, educational events, and community events.

  • There are many opportunities in our community to spread the message about local philanthropy - these volunteers ensure NCCF is always a part of the local philanthropic conversation!

  • Contact info@newcanaancf.org if you have other strengths you can bring to the Foundation
