2012 Overview

A 2012 Community Report

Published December 2013

Dear Friends,

All philanthropy is good, but not all philanthropy is effective. Even the most well-intended charitable act may fail to produce a benefit that is commensurate with the effort expended.

At the Community Foundation of Northwest Connecticut, we are trying to make good decisions—ones that are equitable for our communities and mindful of our promise to honor the wishes of those who have given us the ability to assist others. The trustees and staff of the Foundation are grateful for this opportunity, and we work to provide the type of stewardship and services that you and our communities can be proud of.

Because of you, we are fortunate to be the caretakers of philanthropic resources that allow us to penetrate all aspects of community life and address the collective needs of our fellow citizens. And while making a genuine impact in each of our focus areas—Health, Education, Human Services, Arts and Culture, the Environment, and Animal Welfare—is an ever-present challenge, we are dedicated to finding ways to assist our nonprofits and students in making the most of the dollars we grant them.

Much of what we focused on this past year centered on understanding and actualizing our role in building community. The Foundation’s ability to achieve this objective is made possible through the funds listed on the following pages, and the wonderful people who have contributed to the success of these funds.

Grants and scholarships from these funds have allowed us to double our philanthropic distributions to $2,215,090 in just two years. This report provides us with an opportunity to recognize all that has been made possible through these grants and scholarships. Even more important, perhaps, is that it offers a glimpse into the hearts of our donors and the passion they share for our beloved Northwest Connecticut.

Sincerely,
Board of Directors

Mission To enrich the quality of life for residents of Northwest Connecticut by inspiring local philanthropy, convening stakeholders in community welfare, strengthening the regional nonprofits network, and fostering collaborative funding partnerships. Established in 1969, The Community Foundation of Northwest Connecticut, Inc., serves Litchfield County with a collection of more than 250 funds that support nonprofit organizations and provide scholarships to area students in 20 towns within the Northwest Corner, including: Barkhamsted, Bethlehem, Canaan/Falls Village, Colebrook, Cornwall, Goshen, Hartland, Harwinton, Kent, Litchfield, Morris, New Hartford, Norfolk, North Canaan, Salisbury, Sharon, Torrington, Warren, Washington, and Winchester/Winsted.

Governance In its Board of Directors, the Foundation has an active governing body that is responsible not only for establishing the mission and strategic direction of the organization but also is charged with oversight of its finances, operations, and policies. The Board, which is independent and broadly representative of the people within the Northwestern Connecticut area served by the Foundation, is comprised of individuals who have demonstrated civic leadership in a variety of ways and who have a strong record of volunteer community service.

The MacCallum Family Helps Animals Live Longer Healthier Lives

During their 35-year marriage, Shirley and Toby MacCallum shared many things, an antique business, three children, and a strong sense of connection and responsibility to animals in their community. A deep respect for animals was instilled in Shirley at a young age. Growing up on a farm in Massachusetts, Shirley had plenty of opportunities to befriend animals of all kinds.

“We had rabbits, chickens, cows, horses, and cats, you name it,” said Shirley. “I wanted to bring all of the animals inside. Dad was not happy about that.”

Over the years, Shirley and Toby welcomed many canine companions into their family and made regular donations to local animal welfare organizations in their community. But when they were forced to put down their longtime companion, Smokey, a mixed-breed shelter dog and member of the family for more than 18 years, Shirley was so heartbroken that she decided she would never adopt another dog. Instead, she doubled the couple’s efforts to support local animal welfare organizations that needed support.

“I gave to everything,” said Shirley, “any animal organization that needed help. I didn’t care if it was a skunk who needed help. I sent money to help.”

Then in 2003, Toby was diagnosed with cancer and given a year to live. He had one request of Shirley:

“I want a dog,” he said.

Days later, the couple ran into a colleague who was returning from his veterinarian’s office with a litter of yellow labs. Toby scooped a wiggling puppy into his arms. He looked at Shirley, and they both knew that Esmerelda “Little Molly” had found a home.

To the surprise of doctors, Toby lived for more than eight years, fighting for his life with Molly by his side. “She never left him,” said Shirley. “They were always cuddled up together. Molly would lay in the bed with him with her head on his leg. She slept with us.” They soon discovered that Molly was fighting a battle of her own. Molly was diagnosed with lymphoma.

“Whatever happens,” Toby said to Shirley, “When I’m gone, take care of Molly.”

Toby passed away in 2012. Soon after, Molly became extremely ill. After seven months of dialysis, with Shirley a constant by her side, Molly too passed away.

“I spent so much time at the veterinarian’s office, meeting sick animals and their caregivers,” said Shirley. “I realized there is a real need in our community to reach out to sick animals whose caregivers don’t have the means to provide them with life-sustaining medical care.

“They can’t talk,” she said. “They need our help.”

Established in 2013, The MacCallum Family Fund for Animal Welfare is an endowed field-of-interest fund. The fund accepts donations from the community to provide in perpetuity resources for sick and suffering animals who require extensive and often expensive medical treatments to prolong their lives.

“I always wanted to do something for animals,” said Shirley. “This fund will continue to help them long after I’m gone.”

Anonymous Family Provides Hope to Storm Victims

Months after Superstorm Sandy, many Connecticut residents continued to struggle to recover their livelihoods and to provide nutritious food, safe shelter, transportation, clothing, and medical supplies for their families. Although the family typically supported Litchfield County nonprofits through its Local Area Fund at the Foundation, an anonymous family wanted to help. They contacted the Foundation to provide a grant for $50,000 from their donor-advised fund to assist individuals and families continuing to struggle to recover from the storm. The Foundation presented the $50,000 grant to the Community Foundation of Eastern Connecticut, which was working with the United Way of Southeastern Connecticut to develop a flexible application process for storm victims to apply for financial assistance funds. After receiving reports about how the money was providing for storm victims, the family provided an additional $50,000 to continue the work of restoring hope. The gift was one of many that the family provides from its Local Area Fund. Through the Fund, the anonymous family supports Litchfield County nonprofit organizations, such as The Norfolk Chamber Music Festival, the Yankee Institute for Public Policy, Foothills Visiting Nurse and Homecare, and The Housatonic Valley Association.

Youth Fund
Established in 2000 through the generosity of the Borghesi family, the Youth Fund supports the Foundation’s Youth in Philanthropy program, whose purpose is to perpetuate community leadership by helping young people develop positive connections to the communities in which they live.
