Hello Connecticut’s Renee DiNino spoke to Kathy Taylor, President and CEO of Connecticut Community Foundation. Many of our community nonprofits who provide vital services are experiencing the direct or indirect effects of federal funding cuts, making this year’s effort even more important than ever. For people who are searching for 'something to do' - supporting local nonprofits is a great way to make a positive impact on our communities.
