The Connecticut Council for Philanthropy is an association of grantmakers focused on promoting and supporting effective philanthropy for the public good. Based in Hartford, Connecticut, it operates with a small staff and provides members with programs, resources, services, networking opportunities, and up-to-date insights on grantmaking and philanthropy. Its membership includes foundations of various types, corporate giving programs, donor-advised funds, federated funds, bank trusts, and individual philanthropists, with additional associate and professional members serving the sector. The organization seeks to enhance philanthropy in Connecticut and acts as an advocate by sharing the sector's importance with officials, the media, and the public, while engaging in public policy work to support the social purpose sector. A recent development is a May 2023 partnership with the Building Movement Project to explore reports and toolkits for peer-to-peer reflection and hands-on practice.
