Thank you for Celebrating with us!
On Friday, September 19, 2025, we gathered for a magical evening at the Dixwell ‘Q’ Community House Fall Ball to honor and celebrate 101 years of community power, resilience, and legacy. We’re so grateful for your presence, your support, and your commitment to helping us reimagine the future of the Q.




Preserving Our Legacy: The Next 100 Years
Together we unveiled a bold next chapter: the official launch of the Q House Foundation and the introduction of the 1924 Society — a new legacy society honoring those who make a lasting planned gift to ensure the Q House remains the heartbeat of our community for generations to come."This is about the Q House remaining the lifeblood of the people who created, built, and continue to preserve what belongs to this wonderful community in this room." — Fall Ball Remarks, 2025
Introducing the Q House Foundation & 1924 Society
As part of our commitment to long-term sustainability and generational impact, the Q House Foundation is in the process of being established and, in partnership with the Community Foundation for Greater New Haven, holds a fund in support of the soon-to-be Q House Foundation. This dedicated fund will help preserve and grow the programs, services, and safe spaces that generations of families have come to rely on.
We are also proud to announce the creation of the 1924 Society, which honors the year the Q House was founded and recognizes those who commit to making a legacy gift to support its future. If you are interested in joining the 1924 Society by making a planned gift to the Q House Foundation, we encourage you to reach out directly:

● Bequests in a will or trust
● Charitable gift annuities
● Naming the Q House as a beneficiary (IRA, life insurance, bank accounts)
● Donating real estate or establishing retained life estates

Your Legacy Lives Here
Whether you’ve been part of the Q House since childhood, recently joined our mission, or want to ensure future generations have access to the same safe haven and community hub, it starts with a legacy.
Let’s build the next 100 years together.
