In balance with her commitment to business, Donna gives generously of her time to issues that affect the community at large. She serves on the board of directors of Special Olympics Connecticut and has previously served on other Connecticut boards in the greater Waterbury area including, United Way, the Non-Profit Assistance Initiative and Safe Haven.

In April 2006 Donna was a recipient of a revered award given by the New Haven Business Times, which celebrated 20 noteworthy women in the Greater New Haven area.

The JDNM board is comprised of experts in the legal, medical, law enforcement, victims' services and non-profit professions. Donna's story and this initiative were featured in a two-hour show on Dateline NBC on April 29, 2007. Donna was an active advocate and instrumental in the passing of a CT bill removing the statute of limitations on sexual assault crimes involving DNA evidence that was signed into law in July 2007.
