Trainings & Events

Sustainable CT is excited to host a series of six regional Community Leadership and Action Conferences starting on Saturday, May 13^th from 10am-3pm at the Free Center in Middletown, CT (52 N. Main St Middletown, CT 06457). Our goal is to bring the Community Match Fund closer to leaders and neighborhoods, while providing a platform for turning ideas into initiatives through funding, support and action. We’ll progress to Hartford, New Haven, Bridgeport, New London and Waterbury throughout the rest of the year. While we encourage you to attend the conference in your region and to connect with leaders near you, if you can’t attend your local conference, all are welcome to attend any event around the state.

Please plan to join us and to help spread the word to non-profits and residents in your network. As you will see from the agenda, the morning is focused on general information about the Community Match Fund and encouragement that anyone can be successful in running a campaign. The afternoon is an opportunity for past/present/future project leaders to work together on their individual ideas and to form partnerships to launch new concepts. The second part of the afternoon is a conversation about other funding and support resources. All attendees will walk away confident about how to start a successful crowdfunding campaign to boost their projects.

Register now for the conference in Middletown and to receive information as we roll out the other conferences across the state.

Each session will follow a similar format:

Connecticut is fortunate to be full of innovative community leaders and organizations ready to take on the challenges faced by residents. The Community Match Fund exists to help good people do great things. If that sounds like something your interested in, or know someone who is a leader in your neighborhood, bring yourself and bring them.
