Foundation Mission
The Foundation is a business community based 501(C)(3) foundation affiliated with the Chamber of Commerce of Eastern Connecticut, Inc.
It is the intent of the Foundation to provide such organizations with resources to assist in pilot programs, expansion of programs, research, etc., rather than the day-to-day operations of that organization.
“The kindness and generous support of the Chamber Foundation will help foster the health and well-being of the most vulnerable children and families in our region.”
Executive Director Covenant Shelter of New London
“Thanks to the Chamber Foundation, we are able to find families for children in great need.”
Director Connecticut Adoption & Family Services

Annual Events
The Chamber Foundation raises funds each year at two events: the Annual Bowl-a-Thon and Holiday Gala.
Grant Program
Using funds raised throughout the year the Chamber Foundation is able to provide grants to local non-profits throughout eastern CT.
