A Message from the Board President
The International Association of New Haven has made the transition
from its roots as a programming organization to one that supports
our new mission - that of providing grants to organizations that
further international understanding within the greater New Haven
community.
Following a successful launch event in October 2007,
IANH has completed two years of grant giving activity, awarding
grants to nineteen community and educational groups in the Greater
New Haven area. IANH funds have supported a diversity of organizations
and projects, all of which contributed in meaningful ways to increased
understanding of the complicated world in which we live.
IANH has
strengthened the Board by adding five new members with diverse
backgrounds who bring the skills to take our organization to a
new level. We begin this third grant year with a solid foundation,
a strong group of dedicated volunteers and, an impressive slate
of grant recipients, paving the way for a bright future. If ever
there were a time to encourage global understanding at the local
level, it is now. Please join us in supporting the IANH mission
to "Bring the World to New Haven."
- Anne Kellett, Board President

On November 20, 2008 the IANH held a reception at Luce Hall to
honor and showcase programs that have received grants in past years
and to kick off a new round of grant applications for 2009.
The
event was very well attended. Visitors enjoyed food, drink and
performances by young musicians. Many current and former IANH grantees
displayed their projects and were available for networking and
discussions with prospective applicants and other interested members
of the New Haven community. We would like to thank all of the organizations
that attended the event and made it a true celebration of ‘local
projects for global understanding”!
