Who Can Form a Circle?

A circle can be formed by any Connecticut collaboration of agencies or individuals that is working in the public interest to make their communities and State a better place. Circles can be as simple and informal as after-school providers in a neighborhood tracking needs and sharing best practices, or as formalized as partnerships of state agencies, municipalities and nonprofits addressing unemployment in a specific region.

The only groups that are barred from using the Community Impact Circle are organizations and collaborative groups that are political organizations or are promoting the agenda of a specific political party or candidate for office. In addition, groups promoting a specific religious agenda or discrimination against any individual or group are barred from forming Community Impact Circles.

Community Impact Circles must be approved by the Connecticut Nonprofit Strategy Platform Administrator.
