Norwich, CT - Dime Foundation awarded $46,678 to 14 local organizations
as part of its commitment to community. Dime Foundation proudly supports
non-profit groups within its service area of southeastern Connecticut

"Dime Foundation was established in part to provide support to our
non-profit neighbors," shared Jim Cronin, Dime Foundation president.

in meeting the most basic needs of our neighbors and their clients."
