January 2025: Message from Foundation President & CEO
Karen DuBois-Walton: "In the coming year, I plan to continue listening and learning as we chart the next chapter of The Foundation."
Dear Friends,
In my 30+ years in public service in Greater New Haven, I have felt a deep appreciation for our community and its commitment to improving this place we call home. I’ve seen this spirit and love for our region on vivid display during my first months at The Foundation as I’ve met many different groups and individuals engaged with our work.
Listening to donors, board members, young nonprofit professionals in our emerging leaders program, aspiring entrepreneurs supported by our mission investments, Community Fund for Women & Girls volunteers and many others, I’ve been inspired by the dedication to building a community that has both opportunity and equity.
In the coming year, I plan to continue listening and learning as we chart the next chapter of The Foundation.
I am eager to hear from as many voices and perspectives as I can, so please reach out to me personally. I look forward to seeing what we can do together.
Karen DuBois-Walton
President and CEO, The Community Foundation for Greater New Haven
