Our impact.
Sustainable CT taps into the power of creating change at the local level. Guided by the vision set by Connecticut's municipal leaders, over 200 people from local governments, non-profits, state agencies, businesses, academia, and our communities worked together to develop Sustainable CT. Each of Connecticut's 169 cities and towns were represented in the creation of the program.
“We fund Sustainable CT because they’re providing the on-ramp for all towns to make our future more livable and sustainable.”
—Sabina Cournoyer de Shelby, co-founder and President, Hampshire Foundation
