We at Winning Ways are thrilled to share some exhilarating news with our community. We are the proud recipients of a significant grant from the Community Reinvestment Pilot Program, an initiative led by NEST<\/a> and the Connecticut Social Equity Council (SEC<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Milestone Achievement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This grant is more than just funding; it’s a beacon of hope and a testament to our commitment to uplifting communities. With this grant, we join a movement dedicated to rewriting the narratives that have been shaped by the long-standing “War on Drugs.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An incredible amount of $900,000 has been allocated to empower 31 organizations in Waterbury, and we are honored to be among them. This funding will bolster our renowned initiative, The Winning Circle Series\u2122: Spit and Paint, enabling us to reach new heights in our community efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Impact of Collaboration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This grant represents a powerful collaboration. Together with NEST and the SEC, we’re set to make significant strides in building stronger, more resilient communities. Our shared vision is to not only address the past but to pave the way for a future filled with hope, opportunity, and empowerment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The possibilities are boundless. With this support, we can expand our programs, enhance our outreach, and deepen our impact. This is a momentous step towards realizing our vision of a community where every individual has the opportunity to thrive and contribute to a collective brighter future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expressing Our Gratitude<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to NEST, the SEC, and all those who have supported us along the way. This achievement is not just ours; it belongs to every member of our community who has stood with us, believed in our mission, and strived for positive change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
