Guiding us in ways we could not have anticipated or imagined, people like you have informed our progress as a center of local philanthropy, creating an organizational identity brimming with resolve and purpose, one that has become the organic embodiment of our philanthropic DNA – by and for the citizens of Northwest Connecticut. Our identity is by no means random, or accidental. Local citizens want to make a difference with opportunities to create lasting change in our Northwest corner communities. For our part, as aggregators of intellectual, social and community capital and collaborative agents of change for the greater good in Northwest Connecticut, it is our privilege to advance their charitable endeavors. The Foundation’s record of accomplishment in 2015 – the sum total of innovations, efficiencies and modern business practices we apply to local philanthropy is a source of pride and humility. The following pages outline some of the new technologies and services we are developing to assist and educate our donors while we simultaneously implement creative strategies to support the needs of our nonprofit community. Building on a record of over $4 million in grants in 2015 and fund investment returns that led the nation when compared to our community foundation peers, we are looking forward to tomorrow’s challenges with a commitment to performance and a vision of leadership that make us Northwest Connecticut’s Community Foundation, in name, in spirit, and in practice.

Yours truly,

Guy Rovezzi Douglas K. O’Connell President Chair

6 Field of Interest Funds

Field of Interest Funds enable annual grants to address specific issues within communities important to the fundholder. Based on personal philanthropic goals, fundholders determine grant recipient eligibility requirements—such as a geographic area of service or specific community needs, such as arts enrichment, homelessness or the environment—and the Community Foundation annually provides carefully selected grants in the fund’s name that best reflect fundholders’ philanthropic objectives.

7 Donor Advised Funds

Donor Advised Funds are an increasingly popular means for donors to create greater, longer- lasting impact in their charitable giving. A far more cost-effective and tax beneficial alternative to establishing a private foundation, donor advised funds are often established through gifts of stock or other appreciated assets. Fundholders or their designated successors recommend grants to nonprofit organizations of their choice, while the Community Foundation manages all aspects of administering the fund and overseeing the prudent investment of the fund’s assets.

44 SUPPORTING ORGANIZATIONS

Supporting Organizations are similar to private foundations in that they operate with a separate board of directors with grant-making responsibilities, but because they operate under the “umbrella” of the Community Foundation, they operate more efficiently and with the benefits of a public charity. Directors enjoy a high amount of involvement in their philanthropy while benefiting from the Community Foundation’s grant and investment expertise and administrative support.
