Building off a successful 2021 Youth Engagement Grant Program, The Last Green Valley, Inc. (TLGV) has committed $15,000 to focus on the needs of youth. The 2022 Youth Engagement Grant is designed to benefit youth (under 21) in projects to conserve, celebrate or enhance The Last Green Valley National Heritage Corridor’s significant natural and historic resources or promote economic development.
Projects enhancing access for diverse audiences to the abundant natural and historic resources of the National Heritage Corridor are encouraged. Projects developed or led by youth will receive priority consideration. The grant is open to non-profits, municipalities and schools.
“We were thrilled with the innovative and thoughtful grant projects we were able to fund in 2021 and would like to keep the momentum going,” said Lois Bruinooge, executive director of TLGV. “Youth are engaging in history, health and wellness in truly exciting ways with the funding. We’re looking forward to seeing what our partners dream up next.”
TLGV has committed up to $15,000 to the program. Grants will range from $2,000 – $5,000. Funds will be dispersed on a reimbursement basis and must be matched 1:1 by cash or in-kind contributions. Projects that demonstrate the ability to generate more than 1:1 match will be given greater consideration.
All grant applications will be reviewed and approved by a TLGV board committee. Applications must be postmarked or hand-delivered by 4 p.m. April 7. Applications may also be emailed to

PUTNAM — SPIROL International Corporation, a global manufacturer headquartered in Danielson, stepped forward for a third consecutive year to support the Northeast Connecticut Cancer Fund of Day Kimball Healthcare (DKH), by raising more than $13,000 for the fund.
In addition to designating the company’s fiscal year 2021 employee giving campaign to the fund, SPIROL’s fund-raising team raised money by hosting various philanthropic initiatives throughout the year and participated in DKH fund-raising committees including the 2021 Cruise, BBQ & Brew and Canines for Cancer Care events. SPIROL supported that with a $5,000 match.
“We extend heartfelt gratitude for the outpouring of support for local cancer patients shown by the generosity of SPIROL and its employees,” said Kyle Kramer, CEO, Day Kimball Healthcare. “We look forward to being able to continue to provide quality healthcare for our community with the help of partners like SPIROL.”
”2021 was another great year working with DKH and the NE CT Cancer Fund,” said Matt Bartlett, Manufacturing Manager and Employee Giving Chair, SPIROL International. “We are proud to assist and support a vital member of the community that does so much good for not only cancer treatment but overall healthcare for this quiet corner of Connecticut.”
“I can’t say enough about how much of a pleasure it is to work with Matt and the entire team at SPIROL, and how much we appreciate their dedication toward supporting our cancer patients and their families,” said Kristen Willis, director of Development, Day Kimball Healthcare. “We know how challenging it has been for everyone over the past two years, and for the SPIROL employees to come through with this level of support again this year is truly amazing.”
SPIROL’s Employee Giving Program has raised over $35,000 for the fund since beginning its fund-raising efforts in fiscal year 2019.and has had a long-standing community partnership with DKH spanning over three decades.
