MILFORD — The Lulu and William Jones Fund and the Gates Fund at the Community Foundation for Greater New Haven have awarded a $25,000 grant to The Connecticut Center for Child Development of Milford, an organization that has provided service to children with autism and their families since 1995.
The grant was awarded for the Day Break Day Care Center that will be housed in the new facility for CCCD at 95 Wolf Harbor Road, the agency said in a statement.
The day care center will accommodate children of the faculty and staff, as well as low income New Haven County and Milford area residents, the statement said. The low cost on-site child care center will enable many highly trained staff members with children to remain as employees while opening the door to the low income families in neighboring communities to use the center.
Donors to The Community Foundation for Greater New Haven since 1928 have built the community’s endowment, valued at about $300 million as of Dec. 31, 2007. In 2007, The foundation Board of Directors distributed more than $12.6 million in grants from about 680 different named charitable funds that support a wide range of programs and projects.
