GET THE MOST FROM YOUR DOLLARS WITH

COMMUNITY INVESTMENT

WHEN YOU CHOOSE COMMUNITY INVESTMENT, you can rest assured that you're getting the most out of every dollar. Community Investment operates on the principle that together we can do the most good: helping children enter kindergarten ready to learn and succeed in school, helping families become more financially stable, coping with illness, providing a safety net for those in need -- and so much more.

Community Investment funded programs are monitored by trained volunteers who ensure that dollars are well-spent to produce real results and that effective management, governance and financial accountability standards are upheld.

• Ensuring Children Are Successful. Helping children get ready for kindergarten and youth achieve their potential through education. Working with parents, child care providers, towns and schools to ensure that all children are ready to succeed in school so that they graduate well-prepared for the workplace.
• Strengthening Families. Building family financial stability and independence by improving job skills that increase earning potential; developing affordable housing; and promoting access to income supports. Helping families learn to budget and save for things such as better housing, transportation or education.
• Safety Net of Services. Meeting basic needs to help people in crisis get back on their feet with food, shelter, counseling and disaster response. Supporting the elderly and those with mental or physical health needs through home health and respite care.
