Event Description
New Haven Tree Lighting Celebration.
Thursday, December 2 (rain date: Friday, December 3)
4-8pm
Downtown comes alive with cheer Thursday, December 2 as the lighting of the tree kicks off the holiday season in New Haven. The evening celebration brings hundreds of families together in the heart of the City on its historic Green and is free of charge. The event hosted by WTNH/My TV9’s Gil Simmons will feature live choral performances by the New Haven Chorale, Katherine Brennan School, Mauro/Sheridan School, Nathan Hale School and Bishop Woods School choirs. Special guest appearances by Santa, Ronald McDonald and others.
From 4-8pm, children have their choice of free rides- a carousel, “Lucy” the Polar Bear and “Storm the Reindeer” both life-sized mechanical animals. Meanwhile, guests can hop on a hayride around the Green – also free of charge. After the lighting of the tree, children and their families can visit and take a photograph with Santa until 7:30pm or in the midst of a “winter wonderland”.

Laying the Cash Tracks for Community Impact
LISC CFO Christina Travers is among the impact investing leaders who contributed commentaries to a new book, The Social Justice Investor, and joined a panel discussion at today’s book launch. In her essay, “Laying the Cash Tracks,” (reprinted here) she explains the evolution of LISC’s capital markets experience—noting how discouraging Wall Street conversations eventually led to transformative, community-focused investments.Sharing the Story of Social Justice Investing
With the launch of the new book, The Social Justice Investor, LISC’s Christina Travers reflects on the ways that CDFIs have tapped the capital markets to deepen their impact—working to upend lingering misconceptions among some investors. "Whether we are financing affordable housing, small businesses, health, safety, climate resilience, racial equity or jobs, we see financial performance and local impact as part of the same whole."EPA Awards GRID Alternatives Solar for All Grant
LISC partner GRID Alternatives has been awarded a $249,800,000 Solar for All grant from the EPA to advance renewable and clean energy sources for affordable housing communities across the country. “The grant is an incredible boon to the movement to decarbonize homes and lower energy costs that burden millions of everyday Americans,” said Michael T. Pugh, president and CEO of LISC.
