Many Voices, Shared Impact
On Thursday evening, partners, donors, volunteers, advocates and friends of the Community Fund for Women & Girls gathered for an evening of connection and celebration of local work advancing their shared mission.
"I've seen firsthand how the investments in women cause a ripple effect that extends far beyond the one individual,” said The Community Foundation President & CEO Karen DuBois-Walton as she introduced attendees to organizations serving women and girls in Greater New Haven.
Kaisha Luciano, who was once unhoused and is now pursuing a law degree at Quinnipiac University, shared her transformative experience with the nonprofit Dress for Success, a grantee of the Fund for Women & Girls.
“I know how pivotal something like this can be for the next first-generation student who just needs a bit of encouragement with the outfit to match. I've always believed that when you look good, you feel good and you do good. And I still wear my suit to this day,” Luciano said.
“It's a beautiful thing to see the way that women show up for women, and I don't just mean as individuals, but as a cause, as a movement,” said Maggie Moffett, advisory board chair for the Community Fund for Women & Girls.
