COMMUNITY SPONSORSHIP AWARDS

Fairs, festivals and similar community celebrations bring people together, build pride and inject life into our town squares and neighborhoods. They are often at the top of the list of things that distinguish our communities and our quality of life.

Recognizing the unique role that such celebrations play in making Berlin and New Britain special, the Community Chest of New Britain and Berlin’s Community Sponsorship Awards Program offers financial support to nonprofit organizations conducting community special events that are consistent with the Chest’s goal to make our communities better places to live, work and raise a family.

• Preference will be given to community events that celebrate and promote children and families; arts, culture and heritage; education; and civic engagement.

• Events must take place in Berlin or New Britain and be open to the public

• Events must recognize the support of the Community Chest in the form of publicity, advertising or other visibility.

• Community Sponsorship Award requests should not exceed $750. However, the Community Chest may elect to consider awards larger than $750 at its discretion

• Community Sponsorship Awards are limited to one award per organization/event per year, and will be awarded at the sole discretion of the Community Chest.
