NEW BRITAIN (Sept. 15, 2008) – The Connecticut Health Foundation (CT Health), the state’s largest, nonprofit grant-making foundation, has a new logo and website. The new brand is designed to create greater awareness of CT Health’s mission: to improve the health of the people of Connecticut through systemic change, program innovation and public policy analysis.
“Our new brand identity will help reinforce our vision and encourage stakeholders and partners to join us in our commitment,” says Patricia Baker, president & CEO.
This new logo and endorsement line (Changing Systems, Improving Lives) also better align the brand with CT Health’s strategies: grant-making, knowledge dissemination, leadership development, convenings and technical assistance. Our new look consists of three key elements:
- New logo. The sun-wave mark is symbolic of rebirth and growth. It provides warmth and light and is an evolving shape that also represents positive change and transformation. It is open and signifies a partnership between natural elements.
- Endorsement line (Changing Systems, Improving Lives.)
- New abbreviation: CT Health better reflects our overall health-related mission, ties in with our name and website (www.cthealth.org) and our three priority areas: improving children’s oral health, decreasing racial and ethnic health disparities and improving children’s mental health.
In addition to the redesign, the website will offer new information, including our updated Community Health Data Scan section and more stories about our grantee partners.
Following the website launch, later in September we will introduce a redesigned policy brief and newsletter, both of which will highlight the importance of community health data, as well as a monthly electronic newsletter about the latest CT Health activities.
The Connecticut Health Foundation (CT Health) – www.cthealth.org – is the state’s largest independent, nonprofit grant-making foundation dedicated to improving the health of the people of Connecticut. Since it was established in July 1999, CT Health has awarded 445 grants in 44 cities and towns totaling almost $37 million.
