New Alliance Foundation: 43 CT towns eligible

The NewAllianceFoundation is an independent charitable foundation that provides financial support to charitable organizations that operate in any of the 43 towns they serve (see below for the magical list) and that address community needs in four key areas, all of which can involve libraries: the arts, community development, and youth & education plus a health & human services area (which mentions health literacy as one example). A segment is also targeted toward “programs which empower people through the development of literacy skills.”
