ARE YOU ELIGIBLE TO BE A SOCIETY MEMBER?
GIVING SOCIETIES
Connections Work has established three giving societies to celebrate and thank those individuals who share our mission to improve lives and create safer, more prosperous communities by providing services, support, and community reintegration to individuals with justice involvement and their families.
Paul J. and Mary Kate Hoh Society
The Paul and Mary Kate Hoh Society recognizes Connection Work's long-time individual donors, who have given 25 or more gifts over a period of 25 or more years. It is named in honor of Connections Work's founding member and first president, Paul J. Hoh, and his wife, Mary Kate Hoh, who have continued to support Connections Work every year since 1975.
Life Improvement Society
The Life Improvement Society recognizes Connections Work's major individual donors who have given $10,000 or more in their lifetime. This includes donors who have pledged future gifts of $10,000 or more to Connections Work. Future gifts include bequests, life insurance, retirement, charitable gift annuities, charitable remainder trusts, and others where Connections Work is named as a charitable beneficiary.
Connections Work Legacy Society
and Connections Work Endowment
The Connections Work Legacy Society recognizes all individual donors who have contributed to the Connections Work Endowment or have promised to leave a future gift to Connections Work, by including Connections Work in their will. Future gifts include bequests, life insurance, retirement, charitable gift annuities, charitable remainder trusts, and others where Connections Work is named as a charitable beneficiary.
What are the benefits? The Giving Societies allow Connections Work an opportunity to say “thank you” today for gifts in the past and for any future gifts that will benefit Connections Work tomorrow. We value your contribution and strive for open communication, close connection, and deep appreciation for your support. Members will be listed in our annual report, receive invitations to special events, have the opportunity to visit and observe Connections Work's Rebuilding Reentrants and Reading (R3) program in action and meet one-on-one with Connections Work leadership. Your participation is voluntary; we honor any request for anonymity.
“I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.”
— Mother Theresa

CONNECTIONS WORK IS A PANO STANDARDS FOR EXCELLENCE CERTIFIED ORGANIZATION
Connections Work is proud to be certified by the Pennsylvania Association of Nonprofit Organizations (PANO) through their Standards for Excellence certification program. Connections Work successfully completed this certification program by voluntarily opening itself up to scrutiny by a "jury of its peers" who examined our organization for compliance with PANO's Standards for Excellence: An Ethics and Accountability Code for the Nonprofit Sector.
Standards of Excellence are based on the fundamental values such as honesty, integrity, fairness, respect, trust, responsibility, and accountability. Connections Work's programs and services, management, fundraising, and financial practices were examined in depth before the certification was awarded. Connections Work is one of the first organizations to be certified under the Standards program that began in 2002.
Connections Work is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization - donations are tax deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law.
