The Month at a Glance

Annual Membership Grants Available - Applications Due May 31

ICF-CT is pleased to offer two annual membership grants in support of professional growth, inclusion, and access within the coaching community for coaches who reside in CT who may benefit from financial assistance. Each grant covers one year of ICF Global membership (which includes ICF-CT chapter membership) as well as the ICF-CT Member Program & Event Pass (PEP). The PEP enables recipients to attend most ICF-CT chapter meetings and events at no cost.

Individuals interested in applying are invited to complete a brief application available on the ICF-CT website. Applicants will be asked to share how receiving a membership grant would support them at this time or why the opportunity to begin or renew their membership would be meaningful.

Completed applications must be submitted on or before May 31, with grant recipients notified on or around July 1.

Our Board helps shape the programs, partnerships, events, and member experience that make ICF Connecticut thrive. By casting your vote, you help ensure that our chapter continues to grow with strong leadership, fresh ideas, and a shared commitment to advancing the impact of coaching across our community.
