The organizations receiving grants were: The Danbury Music Center, The Jane Goodall Center at WCSU, The Community Culinary School of New Milford, The Danbury Grassroots Academy, Interfaith Early Learning Center, Literacy Volunteers on the Green, Long Ridge Library, New Fairfield Public Library, The Regional YMCA, Ann's Place, Midwestern Council of Alcoholism, Regional Hospice of Western CT, WeCAHR, Wheels of New Milford, Association of Religious Communities (ARC), Danbury Hospital Foundation (Pediatrics), The Danbury Museum and Historical Society, Guiding Eyes for the Blind, Jericho Partnership, Laundry Love, Literacy Volunteers of America, Renewal House, TBICO (The Bridge to Independence and Career Opportunities), VITA, and the Women's Center of Greater Danbury.
