Gift Planning Since our founding in 1995, endowed gifts and bequests have been the cornerstone of charitable contributions to the Main Street Community Foundation. Each of the following funds established in 2019 reflect a donor’s interest or philanthropic objective to leave a legacy and make a difference in one or more of the communities we serve – Bristol, Burlington, Plainville, Plymouth, Southington and Wolcott.

6 The Main Street Community Foundation is built on the dreams and desires of people who are part of the Foundation’s service area. For some people, the desire to create a legacy comes during their life as a current gift. For others, these legacies are shaped by the donor as future bequests or planned gifts. And still at other times, a celebratory or tragic event, such as a retirement or sudden death, will be the impetus for honor or memorial gifts that may be used as the beginning of an endowed fund in a loved one’s name. Large or small, all of these gifts enhance the quality of life in your community for CORNERSTONE generations to come.
