Dear Friends:
At the end of 2019, The Community Foundation adopted a new five-year strategic plan, including new vision and mission statements. In three words, the plan’s title summarizes its central idea: opportunity for all. In 2020, so much has changed, both from the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic in our community and from the rising chorus of voices demanding greater racial equity and justice. The importance and the urgency of the strategies that we put in place last year have been magnified by the events of the last several months.
For philanthropy in Greater New Haven, as for business and government, COVID-19 is a crisis like no other. Social isolation is altering — perhaps permanently — how we connect with one another, while unemployment at Depression-era levels is redefining vulnerability in our society and stretching the public and private safety net beyond its breaking point. The path of recovery is highly uncertain, but one thing is clear: as a community, we are not going back to the way things were before COVID-19.
The devastating health and economic impacts of COVID-19 fall disproportionately on people of color, widening the racial and ethnic disparities that have increasingly come to define our society over the last two decades. No matter how measured — rates of hospitalization and death, access to testing and care, unemployment, undocumented immigrants ineligible for public support, businesses receiving Small Business Administration loans, or young people with the connectivity to truly learn through remote schooling — the COVID-19 data in our community tell a terrible tale of inequality defined by race, ethnicity, citizenship and zip code. These data tell us that our pre-COVID approaches to advancing racial equity have proven to be inadequate.
As we write this, longstanding racial inequities and injustices are boiling over into protest and violence in cities across America following the tragic murder of an African-American man by a white police officer in Minneapolis. Our country and our community have reached a moment of reckoning with the structural racism that is so deeply embedded in our society.
At this time of daunting challenges, the stakes could not be higher. So much about the future of our community — whether we can become a cohesive whole, recover what has been lost, and move forward to a new time of greater opportunity — will depend on how we respond now.
The Foundation’s 2020-24 strategic plan is anchored in our enduring belief that if our community works together effectively, Greater New Haven can be a place of expanding opportunity for all in the coming decade.
Attracted by New Haven’s urban life style and amenities, people have been moving both to downtown and to the neighborhoods in recent years at a pace not seen in our lifetimes. Our region’s biomedical economy — including healthcare, pharmaceuticals, medical research and biotechnology — continues its strong growth and is well-positioned to create much-needed new jobs and to be a driver of Connecticut’s economic progress.
Our plan is all about how this growth can create opportunity for all. We are focusing on education and skill-building for jobs in
the growth sectors of tomorrow. We are focusing on support for entrepreneurs, especially women and people of color, and on building a more equitable local system of entrepreneurial support. We are focusing on ensuring that growth does not result in housing displacement. We are committed to our traditional role of supporting the local nonprofit sector in providing people with the support and connections they need to build successful lives. And we are undertaking all of our work with a deepened commitment to greater equity as indispensable to progress, both for The Foundation in achieving our goals and for our community more broadly.
We believe that creating opportunity for all requires that local nonprofits, businesses, major institutions, donors, elected officials, neighborhood leaders and area residents work together in new ways toward shared goals and shared accountability. In doing our part, The Foundation will be listening more broadly to and collaborating more deeply with the people of Greater New Haven.
The Foundation is optimistic for other important reasons as well. The creativity, resilience and innovation shown by our nonprofit sector in responding to the challenges of COVID-19 constitute yet another chapter in its long, proud history of service. Facing some of their toughest challenges ever, our nonprofits continue to inspire.
Furthermore, our community’s generosity has been a bright beacon amidst the gloom of COVID-19. After receiving more than $35 million in new gifts and charitable transfers in 2019, one of the highest annual totals in The Foundation’s 92-year history, 2020 has continued to showcase our community’s deep sense of caring. The Great Give 2020 was by far our most successful ever, raising $3.6 million last month from more than 16,000 donors to benefit almost 400 local nonprofits. In addition, The Foundation’s COVID-19 Community Fund, established in partnership with united Way of Greater New Haven, raised approximately $2.7 million in six weeks in March and April.
With this support as well as additional Foundation funds, The Foundation will facilitate or directly provide more than $10 million to local nonprofits in the first three months of the COVID-19 crisis. In addition to these grants, The Foundation is also working with public and private partners to establish a $1.5 million loan fund for small minority-owned and women-owned businesses.
rather than being deterred by COVID-19 or feeling helpless in the face of persistent inequity, The Foundation is pursuing with strengthened determination our vision of Greater New Haven as a community of opportunity for all. By working together, drawing on our deep reserves of resilience and generosity, building on our economic strengths, and making greater equity a defining element of our common vision, we believe that our community can make COVID-19 a departure point for reimagining the future of Greater New Haven.
Please join us in this vitally important work.

Community members gathered on September 25 for learning and collaborating on ideas for creating inclusive economic growth. The Convening opened with a spoken word performance, imagining a future of meaningful work and hope for all. Local, regional and national experts led discussions on supporting entrepreneurship, building career pathways for local jobs and increasing opportunities in neighborhoods where inequity persists. Tawanna Black, founder and CeO of the Center for economic Inclusion in Minneapolis/St. Paul, (above) spoke of how business, government, philanthropy and the social sector have all embraced economic inclusion as a shared goal in the Twin Cities. A panel discussion about equity and inclusion in Greater New Haven ended the day.

Pursuit of inclusive economic opportunity is paramount
The Great Give® 2019 rallies the community for the 10th time
The new Canal Boathouse at Long Wharf was the setting for the Foundation’s Annual Meeting. Foundation leaders challenged our community to put our resources, talent and resolve to work to create opportunity for everyone. Board chair Khalilah Brown-Dean committed The Foundation to listening to the voices of those who are too often underrepresented and underserved. Foundation president & CeO Will Ginsberg urged the community to unify behind a shared vision of a regional economy that is both growing and inclusive.
Nearly 12,000 individual donors from Greater New Haven and beyond participated in the 36-hour online giving event held May 1-2. The $1.8 million raised for more than 390 nonprofits surpassed the event’s previous record set last year. A new prize was created in 2019 to commemorate the 10th Anniversary of The Great Give® and this $10,000 was awarded to Whitney Players. Since 2010, giveGreater. org® has distributed approximately $9.8 Million to local nonprofits.
Donor briefing series shed light on vital community issues
Companies choose to locate in Connecticut based on the skills of its workforce. Students need an education that will empower them to adapt to a rapidly evolving economy. These and other points were discussed during a briefing for donors with panelists Patricia Melton, president of New Haven Promise, David Salinas, founder & CeO of District New Haven and Wendy Waithe Simmons, former director of education and equity at Connecticut Voices for Children. The briefing was part of The Foundation’s continuing work to engage local leaders in discussions about the need to build an economy that is both growing and inclusive.
Social activist and former congressman Gutiérrez challenges Latinx Community
Former u.S. Congressman Luis Vicente Gutiérrez headlined the Progreso Latino Fund’s Forum in October and urged the crowd to get involved with the political process by helping with voter registration efforts. Gutiérrez along with Advisory Board co-chairs Tara Davila and Yadira Ijeh emphasized the need for Latinos to mobilize as a group in preparation for the 2020 election to insure that issues of importance to Latinos are not ignored.
Beautifying neighborhoods and supporting leaders
For years, the corner of Hazel Street and Shelton Avenue in New Haven’s Newhallville neighborhood was an infamous blighted vacant lot known as “the mudhole.” Now, it is an inviting public space, landscaped by neighbors working with urban resource Initiative (urI) at the Yale School of Forestry. The transformation, and the 25-year birthday of the Community Greenspace program, was celebrated in 2019 by program partners, residents and city officials along with its creator, The Foundation. Now lead by urI, the greenspace program has received over $1 million from The Foundation in this quarter century and urI has completed more than 300 urban greenspace restoration projects throughout New Haven.

Nearly $35M in gifts and transfers were made to The Foundation in 2019, a record year, especially for gifts from living donors. It was a banner year for new funds too with 37 created, and donor advised funds continued to be our fastest growing type of fund. Of the total, $13.5M was repeat giving by fund holders. Many year-end gifts were made with appreciated stock and donors took advantage of the opportunity to make qualified charitable gifts from required distributions from retirement assets.
Banner year for local giving
The Valley Community Foundation (VCF) continues to grow and build its stature as a significant philanthropic leader. In 2019 VCF made grants totaling $1,816,349 and attracted $3,541,682 in new gifts including the establishment of 13 new funds. In addition, VCF led a community-wide project focusing on childhood poverty throughout its five-town region. Board Chair Lynne Bassett Perry (pictured) finished her term and new Chair, Don Smith, took over the helm in 2020.
At its Annual Meeting, the Community Fund for Women & Girls highlighted the plight of millions of women who work long hours in roles that involve caring for the needs of the elderly, infirm and children. Many of these women, particularly for women of color, earn wages so low that they and their families live in poverty. Panelists Natalícia Tracy (Brazilian Worker Center), elyse Shaw (Institute for Women’s Policy research) and Jessica Sager (All Our Kin) discussed the toll of this work on women and strategies for creating better opportunities.
Shedding light on the value of care economy
Successful year for Valley leader
Statewide immigration collaborative strengthens efforts
In 2019, The Foundation was awarded a $100,000 grant to support the ongoing work of the Statewide Immigration Funders Collaborative. Overall since 2015 The Foundation has raised over $500,000 from national funders to support this work. The Collaborative advocates for stronger protections from detention, deportation and abuse. Their work includes enhancing the capacity of immigrant serving and advocacy organizations, advocating for and promoting understanding of immigration policy and needs, and supporting undocumented immigrants and DACA-eligible residents across Connecticut.
$34M in grants to strengthen the community and local nonprofits
In 2019, The Foundation granted and distributed more than $34M to local nonprofit organizations. This amount included more than $2.9M in competitively awarded responsive grants to 43 local programs including many that align with the goals and objectives of The Foundation’s work to promote a future of opportunity for Greater New Haven residents. In addition to grants, The Foundation offered a robust capacity building series attended by 1230 people representing 294 organizations.
While the Corporation’s 2019 net return marginally lagged the market benchmark for the year ended, the Commingled Fund performance has continued and consistently added value against its market benchmark of between 1% and 1.5% per year. As a perpetual endowment manager of charitable assets, the Foundation’s global perspective requires meaningful diversification, the retention of world-class managers, and prudently seeking opportunity to complement the long-term asset allocation framework. In 2019, the “bullish” investment climate, particularly in the domestic uS equity markets, was fueled by greater clarity as to Brexit, uS/China negotiations, and the policy actions of the Federal reserve.

Data spurs conversations and actionable steps
The Greater New Haven Community Index 2019 and the 2019 Valley Community Index present a wealth of data about the population in our region, showing where people are thriving and where the greatest challenges lie, through an in-depth look at demographics and population, economic opportunity, health, wellbeing and civic engagement. The data is important to inform community conversations and strategies. The reports are published by DataHaven and were created in collaboration with community partners including The Community Foundation for Greater New Haven, the Valley Community Foundation and an advisory committee of community leaders.
Twenty-five nonprofit organizations were on hand at the New Haven Healthy Start Family Fun and Fitness Day in August to provide lots of health information and resources to New Haven families. In addition to food and lively music, there were school backpack give-a-ways, raffles, Zumba sessions, a potato sack race and a bounce house. Families experienced a fire safety simulation from the Chief of the New Haven Fire Department. A group of physicians from Haiti visiting Yale New Haven Hospital joined the activities of the day, expressing gratitude for the model and life-saving information they could take back to their community.
Day of fun and information goes global
Creating an inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystem is a pillar of The Foundation’s efforts to promote a future of opportunity for Greater New Haven. In June, The Foundation brought a team of local leaders to Pittsburgh for the
“Advancing Inclusive entrepreneurship” national conference hosted by Forward Cities, a learning network of 40 cities including New Haven. representatives from The Foundation’s staff and board were joined by Quinnipiac university School of Business professor Fred McKinney, Collab co-founder Caroline Smith, New Haven businesswoman and community leader Kim Harris and Shelton businessman Dominick Cerritelli.
Last year, the New Haven Promise (NHP) Council started with a group off 12 cross-sector business leaders committed to giving Promise Scholars vital work experience and increasing the private sector’s hiring from NHP’s diverse talent pool. The Council focuses on eight key employment clusters: Advanced Manufacturing, Architecture, entrepreneurship, Finance, Healthcare and Biosciences, Legal/Court System, Marketing and Communications, and Technology, Coding and IT Services. Promise scholars are among our community’s “best and brightest;” as they return to New Haven after college to find opportunity in these fields, our community future prospects grow ever-brighter.
The Progreso Latino Fund contributed $30,000 to the campaign led by the Puerto rico Community Foundation to purchase solar packs in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria. The packs that generate 5 kilovolts and store another 20 kilovolts in back-up batteries provide solar power to 100 of the island’s hospitals and health clinics. That effort restored Centro de Adiestramiento para Personas con Impedimentos (CAPI), an organization serving young persons with disabilities and the community health clinic of Salud Integral en la Montaña (SIM).

John D. Allen and Keith E. Hyatte Fund for LGBTQ+ Interests Est. 2019 by John D. Allen and Keith E. Hyatte.
The 50th anniversary of the Stonewall riots inspired John Allen, founder of the New Haven Pride Center, and his husband Keith Hyatte, retired director of paint at Long Wharf Theatre, to start thinking about their legacy. They decided it was time that giving back to the LGBTQ+ community take on a new form — one that will provide a revenue stream long after their lifetimes.
The couple, who met in New Haven, cares deeply about LGBTQ+ interests, the arts, animal rights and veganism.
In 2019, they established a fund at The Community Foundation and included a bequest in their wills so that the support of these interests will be advanced for generations to come.
“We’re at a point in our lives when we want to start thinking about a legacy and how to plan for our retirement and thereafter,” say Allen and Hyatte.
“We’re new to more formalized philanthropy. We never realized this was something that was open to us. That’s been exciting to realize;
anybody can do it. We’re looking forward to having a greater influence within The Community Foundation and within the community. We really feel a part of The Community Foundation family, and we want to help share that and make sure others feel the same.”
The couple believe it is important to “celebrate and share what makes you strong, but above all, be kind. It costs nothing and is what is most remembered.”
The types of permanent funds that can be established at The Community Foundation —over the course of one’s lifetime and/or through one’s estate—are flexible in their design to provide something for everyone. In 2019, as in most recent years, donor advised funds have been the most popular type of fund to be created. Donor advised funds are an easy and smart way to support multiple charities and establish one’s charitable legacy.

The Linda and Kenneth Cohen Family Fund is dedicated to developing the leaders of tomorrow, say fund founders, Linda and Kenneth. The fund will be used to support five or six different charities that show a strong interest in youth development, community arts and education.
“It was a natural fit to choose The Community Foundation,” say the Cohens. “It was a way that would allow us to contribute to various charities that support causes that we are interested in. It allows us to be flexible with our giving.”
Both Linda and Kenneth have been involved with various charities and organizations over the years. One of high importance to Linda is The Amity
Teen Center in Woodbridge. The Center allows for teens to do something positive and creative with their free time, instead of getting involved in more troublesome activities.
Another organization the couple likes is The Southern Poverty Law Center, which focuses on teaching tolerance and aids in abolishing hate crimes and hate-groups.
“It was a natural fit to work with The Community Foundation,” says Linda and Kenneth Cohen. “Living in the New Haven area for 45 years, it’s nice to be able to work with a foundation that is so deeply rooted within the community, and so committed to giving back to others.”

Cynthia D. Conrad Fund est. 2019 by Cynthia D. Conrad.
Dr. Cynthia Conrad has supported the Community Fund for Women & Girls for more than two decades. As a psychiatrist who owns her own practice and is a Lecturer at Yale in the Department of Psychiatry, she knows the importance of supporting work that advances the ‘best self.’
“I first became aware of the Fund for Women and Girls many years ago in conversation with Mary Arnstein, a member of the Fund’s founding
group,” says Conrad. “The Fund’s mission clearly resonated with my own — empowering women and girls to reach their highest potential, providing grants for the promotion of gender equality and economic security, supporting women and girls with special needs or who face other barriers to success.”
In 2019, Dr. Conrad made her annual gift to support the Community Fund for Women & Girls in a different
way. She chose to use a qualified charitable distribution from her IrA to set up a designated fund in her name that will support the Fund for Women & Girls in perpetuity. She is now among 25 others who have established designated funds to support the social and economic advancement of women and girls.

Joan M. Crimmins Fund est. 2019 by friends and family.
Joan Marie Crimmins was a teacher for over 50 years at Bunnell High School before her retirement. Over the course of her career, she taught at Stamford Catholic, Waterbury Catholic, and Joseph A. Foran High Schools. She was a gifted writer and editor, contributing to several grammar and literature instructional guides and texts.
In 2019, friends and family of Joan got together to create a preference fund for the arts in her memory. In particular, they wanted to remember the woman who had so much enthusiasm for life, especially in her retirement years.
Joan was inspired by many things — news, literature, gardening, photography and arts. Her passion for gardening led he to become a Certified Master Gardner and a member of the Milford Garden Club for many years. Her delight as a lifelong reader led her to become a member of the Fantastic Book Club for over a decade.
A Bronx, NY native of immigrant parents, Joan never lost her love for Ireland and her compassion for immigrant families. And her friends and family never lost their love for Joan.

Michele DiCapua Memorial Scholarship Fund est. 2019 by Tara DiCapua and Jordyn Zembrowski.
Michele DiCapua devoted her life to taking care of people. For 48 years she was a registered Nurse, working first in hospitals, home care and geriatrics before eventually becoming a school nurse in the New Haven Public Schools. She was also the primary caregiver for her son Daniel, who was born with a congenital heart defect and learning disabilities. Leaning on her nursing background, Michele tirelessly advocated for Daniel as they navigated a complicated health plan involving seven open-heart surgeries.
“She lived her life for everybody but herself,” says Tara DiCapua, her daughter. “She dedicated her entire career to taking care of other people both personally and professionally.”
Tara and her daughter, Jordyn Zembrowski, are honoring Michele’s legacy of giving back with the Michele DiCapua Memorial Scholarship Fund. The scholarship fund, created at The Community Foundation, will benefit a senior graduating New Haven Public Schools who will be attending Gateway Community College to pursue a career in nursing.
Michele spent the last two decades as a school nurse for many different New Haven schools. Her work and the experience of growing up with Daniel inspired Tara to follow her mother’s example. Tara is now a clinical coordinator at Yale New Haven Hospital and her daughter, Jordyn, is studying to become a teacher while her son works with grieving families as he pursues his degree in mortuary science.

The Richard A. Ehrenkranz Memorial Fund est. 2019 by Susan, Jeff and Peter ehrenkranz.
Dr. richard ehrenkranz impacted the lives of thousands of families over his 42-year career in medicine and research. His wife Susan and sons Peter and Jeff are honoring this legacy by establishing the Dr. richard A. ehrenkranz Memorial Fund to provide on-going support for Dr. ehrenkranz’s passion and life’s work: Neonatology — the medical care of newborn infants, especially in the most complex and high-risk situations.
Friends, family, colleagues, and patients all benefited from Dr. ehrenkranz’s caring and compassion. Peter fondly recalls: “When we went out to dinner in the New Haven
area, it was not uncommon for people to come up to him and thank him for the impact he had on their lives. Although he may not have remembered all of their names, he could recall their circumstances, and they remembered him. To me, that is a testament to his character, his generosity, and his kindness.”
Distributions from the Fund, will be used to support, in part, an annual Neonatology Symposium at the Yale university School of Medicine that is named in Dr. ehrenkranz’s honor and focuses on his special interest in improving outcomes for infants born with extremely low birth weights.

Evie’s Fund for ‘r kids Family Center est. 2019 by the Board of Directors of ‘r kids.
Children adored evelyn rubin. “Aunt evie,” as her daughters’ friends called her, related to children and met them where they were. A manager in a large New Jersey toy store, she would pick out particular dolls and toys that she knew would appeal to her daughters’ friends and bring them home to share. As her daughters grew to become teenagers and go to college, their friends always had a place to stay at the rubin home.
“My mother always seemed to become other people’s mom,” remembers her daughter, randi rubin rodriguez. “She had a way of being with young people that was warm and welcoming.”
evie’s spirit has long inspired randi in her work to improve the lives of children in the foster system. randi is the founder and executive director of ’r kids Family Center, a state-licensed agency that helps foster
children achieve permanency in loving homes. ‘r kids was formed by thirty-six concerned residents and service providers in the late 1990s and launched with a seed grant from The Community Foundation.
When evie died, randi honored her memory by establishing evie’s Fund for ‘r kids Family Center at The Foundation. evie’s Fund now serves as a long-term endowment to create permanency for ‘r kids Family Center.

Nina R. Horowitz and Richard A. Sussman Family Fund est. 2019 by Dr. Nina r. Horowitz and Dr. richard A. Sussman.
New Haven is home to Nina Horowitz and richard Sussman. It is where they first met back in 1974, when Nina was an undergraduate at Yale College and richard was working in his first job after college. It is where they returned as a young couple for Nina to complete her training to become a surgeon and richard to attend graduate school. And, over the next four decades, it is where the couple built their lives raising their children, deepening their friendships and becoming involved in community.
upon reaching a point in life when they wanted to focus their attention and resources on the causes they care about, opening a preference fund at The Community Foundation just made sense.
“At the end of the day, if we’re going to try to improve life for residents in a place, what better place to do that than in the place where you have your own brick and mortar, where you’ve lived your lives, where there are people you care about and folks you interact with every day,” said Horowitz.
Horowitz, a surgeon, believes that healthcare is a right and plans to direct her philanthropy to improving access to care. Sussman is deeply committed to supporting early childhood and families. He recently retired after nearly three decades of leading the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving’s Brighter Futures program, which runs neighborhood family centers.

McBride Natural History Scholarship Fund est. 2019 by J. Michael McBride and Florence S. McBride.
For nearly 30 years, birdwatcher Florence McBride has shared her love and knowledge for birds with Hamden students. Drawn to early childhood education, McBride began working as a volunteer specialist for the Hamden Public Schools’ Partners in Science Program. After introducing four elementary school teachers to birding, her “Take Flight!” curriculum was implemented throughout Hamden schools. About 5,700 students and 200 teachers have had experience with the program. And Florence continues to host bird walks and discussions throughout the year.
McBride was honored for her work with a Connecticut Science Teachers Association’s (CSTA) Lifetime Achievement Distinguished educator Award in 2011. She’s also received awards from the Connecticut Association of Schools, Connecticut Ornithology Association and the Hamden Land Trust.
To commemorate her 80th birthday, Florence and her husband, J. Michael, established The McBride Natural History Scholarship Fund at The Foundation in 2019. The Fund will support Hamden High School in providing scholarships based on academic performance, financial need or demonstrated interest in Natural History, Field Biology and/or Ornithology.

Palitz Family Fund est. 2019 by Pam and Albert Palitz
The Palitz family has strong ties to Yale university, where Pam and Albert Palitz met and two out of three of their children attended school. So it is no surprise they have been supporting their alma mater for years.
“Given our resources, our donations to Yale were kind of a drop in the bucket,” Pam says. “We thought the best thing we could do for Yale is support the New Haven community. By supporting New Haven, we were also helping Yale.”
One of the ways the Palitz family learned they could support New Haven in perpetuity was through establishing a donor advised fund at The Community Foundation. It was their trusted financial advisor who shared his experience of setting up such a fund with his family that
inspired Albert and Pam to do the same in 2019.
“Our kids are grown, but the idea of sitting around a table once a year as a family and talking about the organizations that are meaningful to us was really appealing,” Pam says.
“We liked what our advisor said about The Foundation and about the flexibility of being able to make charitable donations through it,” Albert explains. “For those reasons we felt like New Haven was a good place to base the fund even though we live in California.”
The Palitz family looks forward to getting together to discuss giving strategies, but have not wasted any time since starting their fund to give to the organizations they love.

Mary Kimbrough Webb Fund est. 2019 by Jean Kimbrough Webb.
Jean Webb is extremely proud of her mother, Mary. Mary Kimbrough Webb was born at home on the farm in Hancock County, Illinois, and became a college educated woman in a time when women did not typically attend college. She trained to be a home economics teacher, but, after a few years of teaching, she married, raised children, ran a tool rental business and ultimately served as a guidance counselor.
To know Mary was to know a determined woman — always a believer in the strength of women, extremely active in her church, the AAuW, and the YWCA. She was
also a generous woman, who was committed to the rights of women, racial equality, and the well-being and welfare of people who are poor. Together with her second husband, Mary created a scholarship to help students meet their tuition obligations at her alma mater, where she met Jean’s dad.
Mary lived to be the great age of 99, and her life and legacy will now live on in the fund that bears her name at The Foundation. “I believe she would be proud,” says Jean of her mother.
“She would be happy to know that she taught me well, taught me how to care for my community. The fund
that I established is a direct reflection of her values, and of the freedom she granted me to fashion my own.”

History Lives at Fort Nathan HaleOn July 5, 1779, as British warships darkened the mouth of New Haven Harbor, a small militia of nineteen patriots fought back from Black rock Fort. Perched on a rocky ledge over the city’s eastern shore, the small force held back the redcoats for several hours before it became overwhelmed and was captured. The British continued their march downtown, where they spent the next several days drinking rum and harassing the residents before suddenly leaving, declaring the city too pretty to burn.
The historic site of that battle, now named Fort Nathan Hale after the Connecticut patriot, is a unique city park that keeps history alive through the work of a longtime corps of local volunteers.
Fort Nathan Hale hosts about 2,000 adults and schoolchildren for activities including historical reenactments, says Marge Ottenbreit, longtime volunteer at the fort. “When you have a living history day and see people cooking and see kids playing in ways that they did in colonial times, it makes history interesting for kids. If you can get them excited about history, it might change their direction. You may be talking to a future history teacher.”
Fort Nathan Hale restoration Projects Inc. (FNHrP) continues to maintain the park, including planting flowers, cutting the grass and the daily ritual of wheeling out a statue of Nathan Hale. every night, the statue is retired to a storage shed for protection from vandals.
FNHrP has received over $215,000 from The Community Foundation, including grants from unrestricted sources and the Henry S. Johnson Trust Fund, established in 1997 as a designated fund to support FNHrP, the New Haven Colony Historical Society, and the New Haven Preservation Trust. Mr. Johnson was born in New Haven in 1899. After graduating Yale university, he headed the Chemistry Department of New Haven High School (1925-1926), was a professor at the university of Puerto rico (1923-1925) and ultimately built his career as the Dean of the College of Pharmacy of the university of Connecticut (1930-1954).

Connecticut Bail Fund Fights for JusticeJustice is supposed to be blind. But that is not the experience of criminal defendants who are too poor to post bail.
The premise of bail is to ensure that criminal defendants show up for their court dates. People who cannot afford to post bail, however, can spend months in jail waiting for a trial. Many who face this prospect accept plea deals
-- even when they are innocent. Those willing to contest their charges have much lower odds at building a strong case with adequate legal representation than defendants who can afford to post bail. They are also likely to endure additional punishments including the loss of their job, home and custody of their children. The Connecticut Bail Fund, which is under the umbrella of Community Bonds, Inc., is a place where they can turn to for help.
Founded in 2016, Connecticut Bail fund posts bail for defendants who otherwise cannot pay, allowing them to fight their criminal charges from a position of freedom and return to their families and jobs. It also operates a weekly participatory defense meeting, a learning network where people fighting cases can build community, develop action plans to defend themselves in court, and collectively organize against mass criminalization. The Bail Fund also operates the Immigrant Bail Fund for Connecticut residents in federal ICe detention.
In addition, The Connecticut Bail Fund advocates for criminal justice reform and specifically for the abolition of cash bail. During the 2017 legislative session, the Bail Fund successfully advocated for An Act Concerning Pretrial Justice, which prohibits judges from imposing money bail in nonviolent misdemeanor cases.
The Community Foundation, as part of its strategy on incarceration and reentry, has supported the Connecticut Bail Fund since its inception, granting more than $70,000 from unrestricted funds. Among the reported outcomes, the Bail Fund’s work prevented people from losing their homes and all of the people who received assistance were reunited with their families, preventing children from going into the Department of Children and Families system and other dependents from becoming homeless due to income loss and bail bonds payments.
The Connecticut Bail Fund also received a 2019 grant from the Community Fund for Women & Girls to support the first formal organizing initiative against mass incarceration in Connecticut led by women of color.

Learning Life Lessons Through the Sport of TennisAt New HYTes, formerly known as New Haven Youth Tennis and education, youth in the city learn the game of tennis and receive educational enrichment. During The Great Give® 2019, they embraced an opportunity to show leadership.
The high school and college students that make up the New HYTes’ junior board decided to develop their own campaign for the 36-hour on-line giving event. In the end, they raised more than $5,000 of the $18,100 in total donations that the organization received to support its programs.
“Our young volunteers believe in our mission to create healthy pathways in our community,” says New HYTes executive Director Mavi Sanchez. “They went out and told their stories and reached out online and on Facebook to their parents, grandparents, and teachers at school. All of the students were excited to share what we do.”
New HYTes combines afterschool education and mentoring with competitive tennis. Summer programming is offered to combat the summer slide.
“Tennis is a sport about resilience, about being able to rely on yourself. The amount of pride that comes to student athletes through a sport can have a ripple effect throughout their entire life,” says Sanchez.
The afterschool program selects student athletes between 6 and 12 years of age from low-income neighborhoods. For no cost, the kids engage in academic and character-building projects in addition to learning tennis skills and playing the game.
“The goal is to be able to engage our children through all of the healthy benefits of tennis and the other qualities of sportsmanship and etiquette, things you can take off the court and apply to everyday life,” says Sanchez.
New HYTes also collaborates with the city parks department to run summer clinics and with the public schools system to deliver tennis instruction through physical education programs.
“We have an incredible city in terms of tennis facilities,” remarks Sanchez. “To not see children on them . . . it should not be.”
Including money raised through The Great Give®, New HYTes has received more than $45,000 from The Foundation. In 2019, a grant from the Florence rice Fund was awarded through the year-round small grants process to help New HYTes develop an evaluation plan.

Leading Geneticist Gives Back to Help New Haven YouthIn 2017, Bryanna Moore received life-changing news. She learned she was to become one of a handful of students from the graduating class of Hillhouse High School to receive a eugene Pergament Scholarship. Moore is now a junior at Yale College studying political science with a concentration in American politics. She is grateful to Dr. Pergament and how the scholarship has kept her focused.
“You have to maintain a strong class record and continue engagement with professors and fellow students,” says Moore. “The scholarship is a guiding point. The requirement for maintaining a certain GPA is a great motivator for me. I aspire to do well naturally, but the scholarship further adds to it and helps keep me on my toes.”
The eugene Pergament Scholarship was created by and named for a 1951 Hillhouse graduate who credits his ninth grade biology teacher with inspiring his interest in science. It is that interest which gave rise to a successful career in reproductive genetics.
“From that time on, I always knew I wanted to be a geneticist and a certain type at that,” recalls Pergament, a clinical geneticist in Chicago, Illinois affiliated with Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine. In 2001, Pergament formed his private practice where he has provided genetic screening and testing for over 2,000 high risk pregnancies annually. Among the many accomplishments over his long career, Dr. Pergament was the first in the united States to introduce first trimester chorionic villus sampling, a prenatal test used to detect birth defects, genetic diseases, and other problems during pregnancy.
The Pergament Scholarship ended in 2019 - the last year of a decade-long $1 million commitment. Scholarships were granted from The Community Foundation and awarded by a Hillhouse committee between 2010 and 2019 to more than 70 Hillhouse High School students. The amounts ranged from $5,000 to $20,000.

¡Adelante! America Prepares Next Generation of LeadersSpanish Community of Wallingford (SCOW) is helping Latino youth step out of their comfort zones, take on community projects and develop into the next generation of leaders.
The ¡Adelante! after-school program for high school students and Pasos ¡Adelante!, for middle school students, works with about 100 adolescents annually, helping them learn to become comfortable meeting new people, speak in front of groups, collaboratively problem solve and work on projects to better their community.
The program also gives the students opportunities to expand their horizons. Guest speakers are invited to help the students think about future career options and the program takes the students on trips to Washington DC and to youth leadership conferences.
The Spanish speaking instructors at the Adelante and Pasos Adelante programs provide the students with important support and help to develop skills and knowledge that will make the students’ transition to life after high school easier and successful.
The program works in collaboration with the Wallingford school district, which also offers a high school ¡Adelante! club for students who cannot attend at SCOW. Other partners include Choate rosemary Hall, rotary, Boys & Girls Clubs, Hubcap and the Coalition for a Better Wallingford.
The Community Foundation is supporting the after-school programs with a three-year, $105,000 grant awarded in 2018
thanks to preference funds like the Lisl Karen Street Fund and the Mailhouse Family Fund. The latter was established by Joyce and robert “Pat” Mailhouse (pictured below) in 1991 with a gift of stock.
The Spanish Community of Wallingford, a.k.a. Comunidad Hispana de Wallingford, Inc., was founded in 1972 by a small group of Latinos in Wallingford, Connecticut, who experienced difficulties finding translators, interpreters, employment, and medical assistance within the community. Its mission is to respond to the needs of the Latino Community by assisting them to succeed in u.S. society and to enable Latinos to maintain and share their rich varied cultures with the broader community.

ALIVE Builds Resilience in Schools A New Haven elementary and middle school needed help with a new population of immigrant and refugee children. They were from all over the world, including South and Central America and war-torn Middle eastern and African countries. They spoke little english and felt cut off from classmates and teachers. They were also subject to teasing and bullying.
The Foundation for the Arts and Trauma was brought into the school to provide counseling to the children through its ALIVe program. As a result, the school saw significant reductions in stress levels among the newly-arrived students, and the students received no suspensions or major disciplinary actions. The students also reported feeling better and more integrated into the community.
ALIVe was brought to the school by IrIS, the local refugee agency that had helped resettle the families of many of these schoolchildren. The ALIVe program provides social-emotional therapy and counseling, and had already seen positive results among students who had experienced incarceration. ALIVe met the language needs of the immigrant students with a bilingual counselor fluent in Spanish and added a Pashto interpreter to its team.
The ALIVe program is designed to help students, classrooms and schools achieve their educational missions by becoming responsive to the effects of negative experiences. Through stress reduction sessions, classroom-based psychoeducation and school-wide early detection and screening, ALIVe aims to create open conversations about the effects of stress and link the students’ lived experiences with curricular material.
The Community Foundation has awarded more than $175,000 to the Foundation for the Arts and Trauma, in large part through its strategies to make Greater New Haven a welcoming place for immigrants and to support recently-incarcerated people returning to the community.

Affordable Housing Developer Helps Tenants Stabilize FinancesAccording to DataHaven, more than half the renters in Greater New Haven (51%) are cost-burdened, meaning they spend more than 30% of their total income on housing. In a region where many renters struggle to afford their apartments, NeighborWorks New Horizons (NWNH) is not only increasing the supply of housing for people with low income — the nonprofit organization’s tenant services team is also helping families stay in stable housing, build community and improve their financial situations.
using a recent $45,000 multi-year general operating support grant from The Community Foundation for Greater New Haven, NWNH expanded its resident services team, which serves more than 400 families in New Haven.
The resident services arm of NWNH offers a variety of services including financial literacy, budget coaching and tax preparation and payment plans that help tenants address delinquent rent. NWNH reported that these programs significantly reduce delinquencies, sparing residents the harmful effects of eviction. In addition, NWNH offers a rent rebate program that provides vouchers for up to two weeks of rent in return for volunteer work.
The resident services team also builds community. Through NWNH’s partnership with LeAP, it offers afterschool and summer programming for young people. Guest lecturers provide learning opportunities for residents, including stress-reducing yoga classes and fishing field trips.
In 2017, NWNH piloted the Mother/Daughter Circle, a gender-specific program funded by The Community Foundation designed to increase communication and positive behaviors among girls ages 11-18.
The resident services team helps solve inter-neighbor conflicts, complaints and requests for assistance, too. A coordinator helps residents who are making life changes such as commencing or returning to college, employment and career development, purchasing a home or car and seeking help and placement for personal issues.

Community Rallies for Creative Arts WorkshopIn early November 2019, the heat went out at Creative Arts Workshop (CAW) just as it was setting up for its annual holiday sale (and major fundraiser), the 50th annual Celebration of American Crafts. It was soon determined that the 47-year old furnace needed to be replaced.
CAW quickly mobilized its supporters with a fundraising goal of $94,000. An anonymous donor stepped forward with a match challenge and donations soon followed, including grants from several donor advised fund holders at The Community Foundation. Within a few weeks, a new furnace was piping heat into the classrooms and gallery space and the holiday exhibit opened. As of December, 2019, CAW had raised $77,000 toward its goal.
Started in 1961, CAW is the largest community arts school in the state, providing a variety of arts classes to all ages and abilities. Its weaving studio (pictured) has been filled to capacity during a Wednesday evening Floor Loom Weaving class. It has over 50 faculty teaching 300 courses to 2,000 students.
Its annual Celebration of American Crafts features works by more than 125 artists, primarily from New Haven and the Northeast, and draws 3,000 visitors each year.
The arts organization was awarded a three-year general operating support grant from The Community Foundation in 2016. During that time, CAW hired a new executive director and has worked to stabilize its finances.
Funding was made possible with grants from the Arts Fund, established in 1980 by The Community Foundation, and the richard A. rathbone Memorial Fund, which was established in 1989 by the widow of an assistant professor of drawing and painting at Yale university.

Experience Corps Creates Opportunities for Young Students and Older VolunteersSchools with limited resources have young students who need help learning to read. retired older adults in the community are searching for meaningful opportunities to volunteer. A program at the agency on Aging of South Central Connecticut is providing the perfect match.
The experience Corps program recruits, screens and trains older volunteers for placement as reading tutors in classrooms throughout New Haven, Hamden and east Haven. established locally in 2006, the Agency on Aging program is part of the national program of the AArP Foundation. A multi-year grant (2017-19) from The Community Foundation for Greater New Haven supported the tutoring of about 700 kids in area public schools both during the school day and after school.
The presence of older adult volunteers improves student behavior in elementary schools, according to research conducted on the experience Corps model. Volunteers tutor twice a week and work with teachers to develop a schedule; classroom teachers assure that the tutoring is consistent with their school’s literacy curriculum by providing tutoring materials.
The program benefits both students and their tutors. Over the recent grant term, the majority of students in the program raised their reading levels, and nine out of 10 participants received improved academic engagement ratings from their teachers. For the volunteer tutors, the engagement helps reduce feelings of isolation often experienced by older adults. Being part of a team of volunteers provides an inherent support and social network. Nearly 100 percent of the volunteers reported feeling that they had made a difference in the community.

Family Support Magistrates Offer Guidance for Court-Involved FathersWhenever a father stands before him in court, Chief Magistrate Michael L. Ferguson makes sure to ask him if he has anything he would like to say.
“The best advice I can give is to speak up,” says Ferguson, who oversees the Family Support Magistrate Court system, where child support and paternity cases are heard in Connecticut. Many of the men cycling through the court are in poverty and struggle to find work because of felony records and other obstacles.
In decades past, the court had a reputation of treating men in violation of orders harshly by frequently sentencing them to prison for not paying child support. During a judicial forum hosted last year by New Haven Healthy Start (NHHS), a panel of magistrates who oversee family support cases said that the times, and the system, have changed. Fathers and families in disputes over child support, paternity, custody and other cases often appear in court without legal representation and have a limited understanding of the process. This puts them at risk of making decisions that compound their problems and ultimately hurt the children.
Ferguson, appointed in 2011 as the first African American to serve on the Family Support Magistrate Court, says he is always willing to listen to a father explain his reasons for not paying child support, no matter how long it takes.
The judicial panel is the latest in a series of judicial forums organized by NHHS to help court-involved fathers and families better advocate for themselves. NHHS was founded in 1997 as a program of The Community Foundation to improve birth outcomes and reduce infant mortality and morbidity rates. Fatherhood work has been a part of the NHHS program for more than two decades.
“A lot of my fathers get frustrated because they don’t understand the process,” says NHHS Men’s Services Manager rodney Moore. “I can help them see that the process is there to make sure that they do what they need to do for their child. And if you do that, you will feel better and you will be a better father for your child.”

Eco-Art Makes a Splash for New Haven WaterwaysOnce surrounded by crumbling concrete walls, an empty lot between two abandoned buildings on Grand Avenue in New Haven was transformed in 2019 with colorful murals of sea swirls, waves, fish, aquatic creatures and other eclectic art installations, filling the formerly bland parcel with intrigue.
The transformation was accomplished by a summer-long environmental program called Lots of Fish. The multi-faceted program was the vision of Joann Moran, founder of Art25, and made possible by a grant from The Quinnipiac river Fund at The Community Foundation. Joann’s aim was to engage youth and community members in art and impact projects that encourage thought and care for the Quinnipiac river and New Haven’s other waterways.
Working with teens from Youth at Work and community volunteers of all ages, Lots of Fish used color to make a vivid scene. Street banners from past city festivals and events were re-purposed with witty and thought-provoking environmental themes. A banner advertising A Midsummer Night’s Dream became Midsummer Night’s Fish, posing the question, “Do fish sleep?” Storm drains were adorned with sea creatures and reminders that “all water leads to the sea,” in hopes of raising citizens’ awareness of the direct connection between rainwater runoff and the health of our waterways. Tires, boots and other refuse collected from Quinnipiac’s banks and other dumping sites were turned into sculptures and installation art.
Of all the projects created by Lots of Fish, one of the most popular and practical were one-of-a-kind rain barrels, featuring art hand-painted by children and community members. The barrels, given out for free, were in high demand. Attached to a gutter’s downspout, rain barrels catch and store rainwater that can later be used to water gardens or potted plants, wash windows or even the car, thus reducing city water consumption.
Lots of Fish showcased their colorful creations with an eco Art festival in August in the lot they had transformed. The event featured live music, organic produce, art and lots of creatively-named kids’ games, such as “yes, we can strike out litter” bowling and “pin the fin on the fish.”
Building on the success of the summer program and the state-mandated sustainability goals it fulfills, Lots of Fish is launching runoff Art, a storm water impact and education program for New Haven’s schools. The initiative will also be mapping the watershed storm drains neighborhood by neighborhood.

Message to LGBTQ+ and the Latinx Community: Keep CommunicatingThe Progreso Latino Fund convened a group at Gateway Community College in 2019 to explore the intersection of the LGBTQ+ and Latinx communities. Gateway’s Student Government President Monica Maldonado co-hosted the event. Maldonado and three other panelists shared their personal journeys as Latinx and LGBTQ+ persons. They included Jeremy Cajigas (lead school organizer for Citywide Youth Coalition); Juan Carlos Soto (a community organizer at Planned Parenthood of Southern New england and an artist); and the reverend edwin Perez Jr. (who leads a bilingual contemporary worship at the united Church of Christ at united Church on the Green in New Haven). Jesus Morales Sanchez, an organizer with unidad Latina en Accion and Connecticut Immigrant rights Alliance, facilitated the event.
A thread connecting the panelists’ reflections was the influence of religion and the role of their family’s faith in the process of “coming out.” Panelists also talked about the importance of community in providing emotional support, and the way community is seen as a “chosen family” in their lives and the lives of many other LGBTQ+ individuals.
Perez Jr. believes the time is now for people in the Hispanic community to come together and communicate. “It is of great urgency that the Latino/a population open themselves up to considerately and respectfully listen to the Latinx LGBTQ experience, being that the Latino community is so much more diverse now and equally worthy. LGBTQ issues among Latinos are still seen as taboo, and it can be difficult to even have a dialogue about them. It may seem like a long way for change, but we should remain open to having conversations about our diversity as Latinxs. You don’t have to think the same to walk together, but togetherness is the only place we may find our strength to achieve equity.”

ents The Community Foundation’s assets were $674 million as of December 31,
2019. After closing out a very turbulent 2018, the world’s equity markets solidly rebounded in 2019 with the Corporation posting a 16.7% net return for the year ended, which was slightly behind the market benchmark of 17.1%. As stewards of the charitable assets entrusted to The Foundation, the strict adherence to balance, diversification and a strategy constructed for both favorable and unfavorable times has been instrumental to the endowment’s long-term success. Since implementing its framework over 25 years ago, the Corporation’s annualized rate of return was 8.6% net of the cost of investment management, which was favorable to our market-benchmark by 1.4% annually. Mission related investment strategies in 2019 were aligned with The Community Foundation’s strategic plan and vision toward a region that embraces inclusive growth. The Foundation’s activities included:
• $6 million+ commitment towards revitalizing and redeveloping the Dixwell Plaza through a partnership with ConnCOrP;
• Partnership with Neighborhood Housing Services and the Greater New Haven NAACP in support of the Home Ownership down-payment assistance program;
• Decision to retain Forward Cities, a national learning network of cities committed to advancing inclusive innovation and economic development in their communities. In collaboration with the local community, The Foundation through Forward Cities is mapping, connecting and supporting the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Greater New Haven, prioritizing mission related investments in early-stage businesses and support for women and persons of color-owned entrepreneurial efforts
