New SNAP content - Using GNH Community to share information

It is often difficult to track down information on food programs and resources in CT. To make things easier for everybody in GNH Community, I have added quite a bit of content to the GNH Community group on Food Security.



You will be able to find the new SNAP guidelines, a detailed outline of the program, links to useful resources online, links to the applications, a FAQ and a space to ask questions to the… Continue

Job opening (or how to post documents at GNH Community)

I just got an e-mail with an opening for a full time bi-lingual home visitor for our Nurturing Families Program at FHCHC, asking me to redistribute it to my list of contacts. Instead of doing that, I am going to post it here, showing how we can do it.



The easiest way to do it (and I expect to see a lot of those postings soon!) is via a blog post, that will come up on the front page. To create one, just have a look at the box at the top of the right column in the front page, just… Continue

The "invite" button

It is there, on the top left corner. Under GNH, between Main and My Page. It is the most important button right now, as it what we can use to grow our network. Basically we send a friendly e-mail to people we know and should join GNH community - with a convenient link and all.



We all know no one reads e-mails anymore, so we should keep it brief and to the point. Here goes a proposed text:



"Dear friend,



One of the issues that always come up when talking with… Continue

New TANF and SNAP changes

I am writing to inform you that the Department of Social Services is proposing to make two changes to Connecticut’s TANF State Plan.



The first is to add a new component to our TANF Outreach program known as the “Help for People in Need” program. A change recommended by the Governor in her proposed budget, this is a new informational brochure that will be sent to all existing Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP - formerly Food Stamps) recipients and new SNAP participants.… Continue

Food pantry map - A good tool for clients in need

I was making a map of all New Haven Food pantries listed at the 211 database for doing outreach using Google Maps (this way I don´t get lost as often). It might be useful for other people, as well, so here I share it.

Welcome All! Some notes

Before anything, a couple of notes on the GNH Community site as it stands now:



1. It is more or less a trial site. There is filler content and fictional non-profits populating it to show how it would look like. We will take them down when needed, and there are filters to avoid other jokers.



2. As it is not "official" yet, feel free to play with all the tools to get a feeling on how it works. It is safe.



3. Nothing is set in stone. Please sent suggestions and… Continue

Hipsters and Economic growth

When talking about smart growth, it is important to keep in mind that we are only focusing on saving energy and being green, but also on how to generate economic growth. Connecticut has not been all that successful at doing either in the last few years (specially seeing how the financial sectors was not actually that profitable after all), so we should remember than several of the proposed policies are pro-growth, not just protecting some environmental cause.



Of all the economic… Continue

Bloomberg Spotlights MacKenzie Scott's $65 Million Donation to LISC

An article in Bloomberg highlights MacKenzie Scott’s recent unrestricted grant-making to nonprofits, including a $65 million gift to LISC. Unrestricted gifts like this, in addition to Scott’s 2020 donation of $40 million, allow LISC to build upon its work with a more flexible and innovative approach. As our CEO, Michael Pugh, noted to Bloomberg, “the ability to have unrestricted giving like this frankly allows us to unlock and tap into the American Dream for everyday Americans across our country.”

MacKenzie Scott Donates $65 Million to LISC

MacKenzie Scott, the prolific philanthropist, announced that she is donating $65 million to LISC, the largest contribution in our organization’s 45-year history. This is Scott’s second grant to LISC, which builds on a $40 million gift in 2020 that was used to seed programs that narrow gaps in health, wealth and opportunity, particularly for communities of color.

Lowe’s Launches $2.5 Million Western North Carolina Small Business Recovery Fund
