As leaders, grant makers, and stewards of philanthropy, the Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore connects people who care to causes that matter for the common good of the Lower Eastern Shore. We are a 501c3 nonprofit with an inspiring history of fostering charitable endeavors, and have provided more than $107 million in grants and scholarships to the local community since 1984. We collaborate with individuals, families, and businesses to match their charitable interests with community needs and strengthen local nonprofits through grants and resources. We are devoted to improving our regional community and believe in the power of philanthropy.

The Sonoma Valley Education Foundation (SVEF) was founded in 1993 by a group of concerned parents and community leaders to fund educational programs that reach students in the Sonoma Valley. To date, the foundation has raised and invested over $4 million in our local schools.

As Madison, CT’s own community foundation, we provide support to individuals and organizations that serve our community’s social, cultural, environmental, educational and recreational needs. We provide a bridge between those with a commitment to serve our community with their desire and energy, and those with the will and resources to help financially. Since our resources are limited, The Foundation provides seed money for programs that we anticipate will grow into self-sustaining efforts to serve our community and beyond. We encourage individuals and organizations who are inspired to serve Madison’s residents to contact us and submit an application for assistance. In a community as comfortable as Madison, it is easy to forget that there are charitable efforts worthy of your support right here in our own Town; we are fortunate to have many residents with a deep-seated desire to help make our community a better place. If you are able to support the efforts of your fellow citizens to serve one another, please visit our Giving page. Your tax-deductible contribution to The Madison Foundation will allow you to enrich life in our community. Please be generous, for the sake of our Town and your neighbors.
