Young Philanthropy

Aligned with our mission of inspiring philanthropy, we recognize the need to educate younger generations about the value of contributing one’s time, talent, and treasure to support charitable organizations in their community as well as through innovative social networking opportunities.

Giving Brewsday

Programs at the Foundation include lively gatherings such as Giving Brewsday, which brings young professionals and local nonprofits together each year on Giving Tuesday, the national day of giving.

This year, on December 2, 2025, we are thrilled to host our FREE Giving Brewsday event at 5Cb, formerly Five Churches Brewing, on 193 Arch Street New Britain, from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. This is a relaxed evening where you can enjoy good food, great beer, and meaningful connections with nonprofit organizations making a difference right here in our community.

If giving financially is not an option right now, sharing your time and talents can be just as meaningful. At Giving Brewsday, you will receive a passport listing all the participating nonprofit organizations. Visit each table, meet the representatives, and collect stamps along the way. Fill your passport with stamps and you can win fun prizes!

Giving Brewsday makes it easy and enjoyable to discover new ways to give back. Come for the fun, food, and prizes, and leave inspired by the good happening in our community!
