Every Gift Makes a Difference
Help us create access and opportunity for our students and don’t let financial barriers stop them from achieving their goals. Your gift not only brightens individual lives—it transforms our entire community. Together, we’re forging pathways to bright futures and breaking cycles of hardship.
In addition to making a gift by check, credit card or phone here are others ways you may contribute to the Housatonic Foundation, now and for the future.
Credit Card
To use your credit card to make a one-time donation or consider an annual, monthly or weekly recurring gift, simply use our donation form.
Check
If you would like to donate by check, please make checks payable to the HCC Foundation Inc. and mail them to:
HCC Foundation Inc. 900 Lafayette Blvd, Bridgeport, CT 06604
Make a corporate matching gift
Many employers offer matching gifts that will increase the impact of your gift. Contact your human resources department to learn if your company participates.
Phone
Call our office directly to donate over the phone, 203-332-5191. Our friendly staff will be happy to assist you with the process and answer any questions you may have.
Give Stock, Property or Assets
Donate stocks, property, or other assets to HCC Foundation, providing significant support while potentially offering tax advantages for you as a donor. We accept direct transfers of securities.
Give through a Donor Advised Fund
If you have a donor advised fund with a commercial bank, investment firm or community foundation, you can recommend a grant award to the Housatonic Foundation.
Establish a Legacy
Join our Legacy Society and consider including the Housatonic Foundation in your estate planning through bequests, charitable trusts, retirement asset, or life insurance. Planned giving allows you to leave a lasting legacy while potentially providing tax benefits for you and your loved ones.
Named Scholarships
Create a lasting tribute by establishing a named scholarship or funding a specific initiative at the Housatonic Foundation. Your generosity will be recognized and appreciated by students and the entire community.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss donation options further, please contact Dr. Alexis Salsedo-Surovov, 203-332-5078
