The Merryall Center in New Milford, which was founded in 1951, recently received a grant from the Connecticut Community Foundation Pride in the Hills Fund KK1. The Fund awards grants to entities whose work support, encourage and celebrate the LGBTQ+ community in the greater Litchfield and Waterbury area.
The Connecticut Community Foundation established the Pride in the Hills Fund as part of its mission to create and nurture an inclusive, diverse and vibrant community throughout and beyond Litchfield County and central Connecticut. The Fund awards grants to organizations operating under the 501(c)(3) classification, those sponsored by a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and charitable organizations that can accept tax-deductible donations.
For the past several years, the Merryall Center has celebrated June with LGBTQ+ events, which this year will include Nick Petrone, Namoli Brennet and Violet Willows, three artists who are representatives of the LGBTQ+ community.
The scheduled performance dates for these artists can be found on the Merryall Center website merryallcenter.org.
