A portion of each gift to Columbus House will be matched by the Community Foundation and could qualify us for additional prize money!

Get a head start fundraising-site launches on Friday, May 1st.
When: May 6th at 8 a.m.- May 7th at 8 p.m.
- Create your own peer-to-peer fundraising page. Visit Columbus House's Great Give page and click the "fundraise" button to get started. You can email Charlyne at calexis@columbushouse.org or Maha at mkattaya@columbushouse.org if you have questions.
- Spread the word. Invite your network to support the mission you are so passionate about. Use email and social media to tell your friends, family, and co-workers that their gift will qualify us for thousands in incentives and matching funds.
Our portion of the Community Foundation for Greater New Haven's match depends on the number of individual donors that give to Columbus House—the more the better, every gift counts.
