2024 Annual Campaign - Donate to Community Mindfulness Project

We envision a world where mindfulness is a broadly-distributed, community-based skillset.

Fairfield County, CT, now has the second-highest income inequality among all metropolitan areas in the country (CTData Haven, 2023). We know that increased income inequality has been associated with higher rates of crime, greater consumer debt, and poorer health outcomes (PNAS, 2016). 
 
In 2024, with a nimble team, we're on track to offer over 500 sessions, reaching over 4,000 people. In 2025, we will continue to grow and prioritize and deepen our programming in Bridgeport, Norwalk and Stamford to support and train community members with the highest unmet health needs. 
 
Because of supporters like you, we know that mindfulness is transforming lives in Fairfield County. 
 
Your generous support will:
  • Fund our staff's trauma-sensitive training through our 2025 facilitator learning program.
  • Sustain, expand, and support establishment of new proprietary mindfulness programs.
  • Catalyze growth in our community partnerships with public schools and health-and-education-service nonprofits.
  • Sponsor caregivers, public sector workers, frontline workers in our highly sought after burnout prevention and stress management curriculums.
When we talk about our community we mean all of us.
 
 

                  Teachers. Caregivers. Teen mothers. School counselors. Health care workers. Children of immigrants. Individuals with chronic illness. People affected by gun violence. Fathers returning to society after incarceration. Those in recovery from substance use disorders.....

 

 

People like B*. She suffered a traumatic brain injury after being shot. Upon reflection following our Intro to Mindfulness 8-week program, she shared:


"these practices are the only things that slow my traumatized brain down so I can catch up to it."


Our resilience makes us who we are, reminds us why we do this work, and pushes us to forge forward unafraid. 

Your gift to the Community Mindfulness Project Annual Appeal helps cultivate a healthier, more resilient community through accessible mindfulness tools.

Whether you're a long-time supporter or donating for the first time, thank you.
