Carver’s generous and faithful friend, the Community Fund of Darien (TCF), just renewed its support of Carver’s kids, mission, and work. Lisa Haas, TCF’s Director of Community Investments, presented the TCF grant award to Nikki LaFaye, Carver’s Director of Philanthropy, at the TCF Investment Awards celebration this past Wednesday.
For Carver and many fellow nonprofits, TCF initiates solutions, builds collaborations, and implements and supports programs to strengthen youth, adults, and families. Since its founding in 1951, TCF has distributed more than $20 million.
This year, TCF awarded $530,000 in community investment grants to 32 nonprofit organizations in Darien, Norwalk, and Stamford, focusing on basic needs, community health, youth success, and workforce development. The event was held at the Darien Community Association.
Carver’s work is possible because of our many donors who believe in and are committed to the success of our youth. TCF is very special because this community fund represents many donors and influencers and its grants follow a rigorous vetting methodology that involves a smart and deep investigation into Carver’s program integrity and financial health. TCF’s significant support is as much about the size of its financial impact as it is about how our crucial partnership with TCF makes Carver that much more effective.
Thank you, TCF!
