A Message to Our Neighbors RESILIENCE is that enduring quality seen throughout the community despite the challenges presented over the past two years. We have witnessed how individuals, families, businesses, nonprofits and local government leaders have partnered together to weather the pandemic and resulting economic climate. Despite all of these setbacks, we continue to be filled with hope because of you and your support of the Connecticut communities of Bristol, Burlington, Plainville, Plymouth, Southington and Wolcott.

We look forward to sharing a new plan with priorities that will sustain vibrant communities where people have equitable and inclusive opportunities to prosper, participate and be inspired to give in each of the communities we serve.

Dependent on volunteer leadership to fulfill our mission, those who serve on our board of directors and committees expand our community philanthropic efforts by sharing their individual and collective knowledge and expertise. In early 2022 board leadership changed as chair Margi Fletcher passed the gavel to Scott Fournier.

We bid farewell to highly respected board members David Aldieri, Kris Dargenio, John Scarritt and Jennifer Scully. To each and all, we are very grateful for your generous donation of time, talents and community insight.

Our mission is to inspire donors and community partners to foster a sustainable legacy of impactful giving. Last year exemplified our mission in action. Throughout this report, we hope you will find stories and inspiration to assure that the changing needs of our communities will be met now and long into the future. The Main Street Community Foundation (MSCF) is forever grateful to the many donors who have entrusted their legacies to us. We are proud to steward over 250 named funds and just over $61 million in assets as of 12/31/21. Since its establishment in 1995, MSCF has awarded $23.4 million in grants and scholarships.

On behalf of the Founders, Board of Directors and staff of MSCF, we thank you for your partnership. This annual report is our opportunity to share with you the stories of our donors and their investments in your community. It is also an opportunity to recognize the collective philanthropy of all and to invite you to join with us, so together we can create lasting impact– forever.

Our continuous adherence to sound financial practices led to an unmodified audit opinion of our 2021 financials from the accounting firm CliftonLarsonAllen LLP. We are confirmed in compliance with the National Standards for U.S. Community Foundations, a distinction we have held for over seventeen years.

Sincerely,

However, he passed away suddenly at the young age of 39 on December 13, 1951. To honor and memorialize him, the Bristol Yale Club established the Miles Peck Jennings Memorial Fund in 1952.

The Miles Peck Jennings Memorial Fund was transferred to Main Street Community Foundation by the Bristol Yale Club in December 2021 and renamed the Bristol Yale/ Miles Peck Jennings Memorial Scholarship Fund. Historically this fund has provided many thousands of dollars to Yale University for undergraduate students and thousands more for graduate students. Now, scholarships will be awarded annually to graduating seniors or graduates of public, private or parochial secondary schools located in Bristol, Burlington, Plainville or Plymouth.

When Alicia passed away in June 2021, her family decided to continue her legacy and honor her memory by establishing this scholarship.

The fund will assist a graduating senior or graduate from one of the three Bristol high schools who is pursuing a major in education or a related education pathway.

He was married to his wife Darlene for over 20 years before she passed away in 1999, and prior to his retirement he was employed by White Oak Corp. as a truck driver. Chet had a giving heart, and one way he chose to give back to his community is one of the simplest yet one of the most important – he left a bequest in his will to Main Street Community Foundation.

GIFT PLANNING

Becoming A Donor/ Establishing a Fund There are many ways to donate to Main Street Community Foundation to support worthwhile charitable organizations and causes in our service area of Bristol, Burlington, Plainville, Plymouth, Southington and Wolcott, Connecticut. The Foundation offers a range of personalized services to help donors fulfill their charitable goals. As partners in philanthropy, we work with each donor to establish a fund or gift plan without complex administrative burdens.

Give to an existing fund

Contributions can also be made to any of the Foundation’s permanent endowment funds which benefit a diverse range of charitable purposes.

Establish a new fund

Our donors are individuals, families, companies and charitable organizations.

You can establish a fund using a variety of gift-giving vehicles, including: cash, stock, retirement assets, other tangible personal property, bequests and other planned gifts. Most new endowment funds can be established with a minimum donation of $10,000; to establish a new scholarship fund, the minimum is $25,000. This gift can be given as a lump sum or over a period of time during your life. You may also leave charitable assets upon your passing in the form of a bequest in a will or trust, retirement plan designations or beneficiary designation in a life insurance policy. A fund can be established as a permanent endowment or as a temporary fund in which income and principal will be distributed.

GIFT PLANNING

Leaving a Legacy Through Bequests and Planned Giving Main Street Community Foundation is built on the dreams and desires of people who live and work in this 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 generations to come.

CORNERSTONE SOCIETY Main Street Community Foundation

A cornerstone provides a strong support to a structure for its future stability. Laying this groundwork for the future is critical.

Like this permanent support, Cornerstone Society members lay the groundwork for the organizations and causes they care about most, while also ensuring the future stability of the Foundation.

The opportunity to give later is simple. You can leave a bequest to the Main Street Community Foundation for the causes you care about in a will or trust, through a retirement plan designation, life insurance beneficiary designation, remainder interest in real estate, or other planned giving vehicles.

We are pleased to recognize the following very generous individuals who have made or have communicated their plans to leave a gift to the Foundation in their will, estate plan or other deferred gift.

GIFT PLANNING

What To Give An outright gift to the Main Street Community Foundation is the simplest way to make a difference in the community you care about.

You can donate cash, stocks, bonds, real estate or other tangible personal property.

Most charitable gifts qualify for maximum tax advantages under federal law.

While many people give liquid assets, such as cash, giving other assets may be better for you and should also be considered.

Planning wisely for the final distribution of stocks, IRAs or another retirement plan, life insurance, your home, vacation home, business, automobile(s), boats, jewelry, checking and savings accounts, can reduce unnecessary federal, state and property taxes your heirs may have to pay. Be sure to consult your professional advisor for guidance.

Cash

A gift of cash is the easiest way to give.

The foundation accepts cash, checks and money orders. Credit cards are also accepted when donating online. Each donor receives a tax acknowledgement for the full amount.

Plan ahead. You will maximize your benefits, avoid unnecessary taxes and gain peace of mind.

Life Insurance

Life Insurance can provide a simple means for making an outright, tax-deductible gift to MSCF without incurring out-of-pocket expenses.

You may name the foundation: • As owner and beneficiary of an existing policy • Designate us as a percentage beneficiary

Securities/Stocks

Appreciated securities are ideal to donate.

You avoid the capital gains inherent in selling the stocks yourself and can deduct the current fair market value without having to pay tax on the appreciation (provided you have owned the asset at least a year and a day).

Retirement Fund Gifts

Retirement plan assets, such as individual retirement accounts (IRAs), are among the most expensive for your family to inherit.

They are subject to income taxes (state and federal), and may be subject to estate and generation-skipping transfer taxes. These combined tax hits can erode the value, leaving as little as 30 percent for your beneficiaries.

When you donate your IRA to MSCF you preserve 100 percent of its value.

IRA Charitable Rollover

If you are 70 ½ or older, a qualified charitable distribution from your IRA can count to satisfy all or part of your annual minimum required distribution.

9

• Give the policy outright, or • Purchase a new one and pay the premiums as a gift to the foundation.

All but revocable designations entitle the donor to a tax deduction.

Real Estate

Besides saving taxes, giving a residence, vacation home, farm acreage, or vacant lot can relieve you of sales and property management costs and real estate taxes.

Personal Property

Personal property such as jewelry, artwork, collectibles, and other assets can also be used to fund gifts.

Worth Effective Grantmaking Since Main Street Community Foundation’s establishment in 1995, the Foundation’s grant programs have greatly improved the quality of life in the Connecticut communities of Bristol, Burlington, Plainville, Plymouth, Southington and Wolcott for now and generations to come. In response to community needs, and in partnership with local organizations, grants from MSCF are made in the fields of Arts & Culture, Community Development & Outreach, Education, Health, Human Services, Environment, Animal Welfare and Youth Development.

MSCF administers several grant programs and welcomes applications from organizations to support charitable activities or programs. Guidelines are available for each grant program at www.mainstreetfoundation.org.

The distribution process for grants from Money in Motion, Immediate Response and Donor Advised funds continues throughout the year as requests or special initiatives are presented to the Foundation. Scholarships are available to individuals pursuing educational and career opportunities in a variety of areas and at varying levels of education and training.

At the annual Stanley P. Bitel Memorial Golf Tournament, Andrew Davies was awarded a scholarship from the Stanley P. Bitel Memorial Fund at MSCF. Stan’s daughters Camilla and Darlene and his grandsons Nicholas and Dean were there to present it to him.

The Stanley P. Bitel Memorial Fund was established in 2015 in memory of Stanley P. Bitel, the founder of Rowley Spring and Stamping Corporation in Bristol, CT. Stan personified entrepreneurial spirit, continual learning and self-achievement, and this fund is created for students who embody these characteristics. A scholarship is awarded annually to a resident of Connecticut who is a graduating high school senior or adult learner seeking qualifying skilled training in the manufacturing trade. Andrew, of Bridgeport, attends Housatonic Community College in pursuit of his degree in Engineering with a goal to work in the manufacturing industry.

Respected Community Leadership The Foundation’s community leadership efforts, also known as “Money in Motion,” address a broad range of community goals. We identify opportunities within the community to support meaningful dialogue on issues affecting the towns we serve. We convene community members, assess changing needs, and propose action on critical concerns. In this way, we are able to develop collaborative solutions to meet emerging needs and provide support to what matters most to the people who live and work in the cities and towns of this region.

COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP

An Ongoing Commitment to Regional Health

Bristol Health is a pillar in the greater Bristol community, and the Brault Emergency Center is the front door to the Hospital, caring for over 40,000 patients each year. In order to have the space and technology to care for everyone, a four-phase renovation and expansion project began in 2019. Along with many other community partners, Main Street Community Foundation stepped up, providing a five-year grant totaling $50,000 from the Money in Motion Fund to support this endeavor.

The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for and importance of critical care, and the enhanced Emergency Center will provide a modern, state-of-the-art, family-oriented facility where residents can receive the care they need. In August 2019, the first phase of the project was completed: a 10-bed Emergency Center Behavioral Health Unit opened. This Unit is designed to meet the behavioral health needs of the community.

After Newell Road was regraded for phase two of the project, phase three was completed. A 13,000 square foot addition

ARPA Funding: GovernmentNonprofit Partnerships to Better Our Communities

When the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) was enacted in early 2021, a total of $350 million in COVID-19 relief funds became available for governments to aid households, businesses and nonprofits. The unique thing was that governments were encouraged to speak with their constituents and listen to their communities to develop plans on how to expend the funds.

Communities across the country were recognizing how important it is for government and nonprofits to work together to assess need and potential impact these relief funds could provide. In August 2021, Main Street Community Foundation (MSCF) partnered with Connecticut Community Foundation, Northwest Connecticut Community Foundation and Valley Community Foundation to present an information session for municipalities and nonprofits that are located in the Cities and Towns served by the Naugatuck Valley COG (Council Of Governments) and Northwest Hills COG. With over 80 participants on the virtual conversation, valuable information was shared regarding eligibility, planning, 21

to the Emergency Room (ER) was unveiled in December 2021 coinciding with Bristol Hospital’s 100th anniversary. This addition is adjacent to the current ER, and the final phase of the project will seamlessly connect the two, creating one Emergency Center.

The renovations and expansion will essentially double the size of the Emergency Center while creating an environment that is welcoming and comfortable for patients and visitors, and effective for those caring for them. Bristol Health continues its commitment to building healthier communities just as it has done for 100 years.

collaboration and ways funds could be strategically deployed to bring forth transformative change. MSCF ensured that representatives from all communities the Foundation served were part of the conversation.

Additionally, MSCF President & CEO was appointed to serve on the City of Bristol’s 15-member Task Force which is responsible for the development of guiding principles and process that will lead to the allocation of $28 million dollars in funding that Bristol will receive. This once in a lifetime opportunity is helping to rebuild a stronger and more equitable community.

COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP

MSCF’s Commitment to Building Inclusive Communities In 2021, Main Street Community Foundation moved forward with the commitment to raise awareness around racial and social justice issues in the communities we serve while also taking concrete steps to strengthen internal practices utilizing a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) lens. After having conducted DEI training with the MSCF Board of Directors and staff in 2020, the Foundation expanded its focus and brought in others closely connected to MSCF – the volunteers who serve on over a dozen committees that review grant proposals and recommend grant awards.

DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION SUBCOMMITTEE Mark Moriarty, Chair Marguerite P. Fletcher Scott F. Fournier Mary Ellen Hobson Kimberly H. James Susan D. Sadecki Mindy Wallen Andrea Wasley

In August 2021, MSCF invited Debby Irving, a renowned social justice educator and author of Waking Up White to engage in a virtual conversation with MSCF Board, staff and volunteers entitled “I’m a Good Person! Isn’t That Enough?” Irving is a powerful storyteller and uses her own life story to explore how systemic racism exists in our society. The opportunity to learn and share through the Debby Irving event informed and deepened ongoing conversations around issues of race and the need for action in the communities we serve. It was a conversation offering a fresh perspective on racial bias, stereotypes and tolerance. Funding for this important conversation was provided by the Wally Barnes Fund for Community Leadership Initiatives, an MSCF fund established in 2013 to promote collaborative solutions in an effort to build stronger communities.

As part of the transition to a new online grants management system, MSCF staff also carefully examined internal grantmaking practices through an equity lens to identify ways to remove undue burden placed on grantees throughout the application process and ensure all grant funds are distributed in a fair and equitable fashion. Careful consideration was given to the purpose behind each of the questions we ask grantees throughout the application process. We also updated the ways in which we ask for demographic data from our grantees to better capture an accurate and respectful representation of the communities we serve.

Looking ahead to 2022, the MSCF DEI Subcommittee is planning ongoing DEI education and community collaborations in an effort to build on the momentum created by this early work in our DEI journey. MSCF staff will remain connected and engaged to ongoing local DEI initiatives in an effort to serve as a source of information and education for donors and community stakeholders looking to build greater equity in the communities we serve. Through this work, we strive to ensure the fair treatment, access, opportunity and advancement for all people, while at the same time working to identify and eliminate barriers that have prevented the full participation of historically marginalized groups.

The MLK39 Project

Southington Pride

Promoting diversity, equity and inclusion in all six communities MSCF serves is of high priority.

So when the Foundation was approached about supporting a mural in Southington depicting just that, grants were awarded from the KAWFY Memorial Fund and the Southington Arts Council Legacy Fund. The MLK39: Racial Equity Mural in Southington is located right in downtown on High Street, reflecting the diversity and youth of Southington. It is part of a larger project to mark Connecticut with 39 murals that reflect the messages that Martin Luther King Jr. represented. MSCF is also an inaugural sponsor of the Bristol MLK39 mural.

Southington Pride approached Main Street Community Foundation in early 2021, and MSCF is honored to work in partnership with them as their fiscal sponsor. Southington Pride is a grassroots organization working to serve the LGBTQIA+ Community, individuals with special needs / disabilities and to support topics surrounding intersectionality. In 2021, the organization launched supportive and social programming for these communities.

While Southington Pride in the process of applying for their IRS charitable status, MSCF is able to provide administrative support and additional guidance.

COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP

Community Sponsorships Grants are not the only way to financially support nonprofit organizations and charitable causes. Sponsorships of events or initiatives often benefit a specific program or aspect of the organization. Main Street Community Foundation regularly supports organizations in all six communities.

Out in the Community Main Street Community Foundation prides itself on being an active member of the communities it serves. While the staff of MSCF serves on local level committees, teams and task forces, the Foundation staff can often be found at fundraising and volunteering events. After all, MSCF recognizes that a lot more goes into improving the conditions and opportunities for local residents than just dollars. Just two of the ways we found to support the community are:

Plainville PumpkinFest For six straight years, the Town of Plainville has held a PumpkinFest. With kid’s activities, food trucks, vendors, a haunted house and incredible pumpkin displays, this event is truly a gathering place and celebration for the Plainville community and beyond.

Farmers to Families MSCF staff members teamed up with other community volunteers to support the Farmers to Families food distribution that has been active since the start of the pandemic. Nearly every distribution for over a year, dozens of members of the community handed out boxes of food to residents who needed food due to the financial constraints the pandemic placed on them. The Farmers to Families initiative was organized in Bristol by the United Way of West Central Connecticut and the City, and in total 35,505 boxes of food were distributed weighing over 1 million pounds. This program saved the community nearly $1.5 million if they had purchased the same items at the grocery store.

SoCCA Reindeer Southington Community Cultural Arts hosted a Reindeer Games Holiday Parade where organizations and businesses could sponsor an artistic reindeer. MSCF’s reindeer was beautifully painted by Diane Sheard and Heidi Theriault. All reindeer were on display along the linear trail in Southington during the holidays, allowing residents to see them in the wild!

Turning the Town Teal You may notice that every year during the month of September, the City of Bristol turns teal. That is due to a campaign during National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month to raise awareness of ovarian cancer and its symptoms led by Bristol residents Tony and Judie Lodovico. For nearly a decade, the MSCF staff has joined other volunteers in hanging teal bows on lightposts and trees, handing out symptom cards to local businesses and placing signs around the city.

Next time you see us out in the community stop by to say hi - and help out!

Burlington Community Fund Burlington Community Fund was established by Burlington residents for Burlington residents.

Men & Boys’ Fund The Men & Boys’ Fund seeks to help men and boys improve the quality of their lives, increase self-sufficiency and make a positive difference in their communities.

In 2011, a group of committed community leaders in Burlington came together to create an endowment fund at Main Street Community Foundation to provide a permanent source of funding for charitable projects and programs that will enhance the quality of life in their community. After 10 years, a total of $41,000 in grants has been distributed, impacting a population of approximately 9,500 citizens. But this is just the start of forever.

The annual fall grant cycle was held and several organizations submitted funding requests. Grant applications were evaluated on the identified needs in the community. Four grants totaling $5,000 were recommended and included arts and career opportunities for students as well as capital items for the local library. The full listing of all grants awarded from the Fund can be found on page 14 of this Annual Report.

While the COVID-19 pandemic has affected every aspect of life, the Burlington Community Fund has remained committed to not just improving the lives of Burlington residents, but listening to them and sharing information. The Fund maintains a social media presence where information is disseminated and residents are encouraged to share any identified needs. Members of the Fund’s Advisory Council regularly meet with the Town’s First Selectman to assess the community’s needs. That is how the Fund learned that the Social Services Department of the Town of Burlington was still experiencing a dramatic increase in demand for assistance with food, fuel and other basic necessities. Knowing the impact their support could have, the Burlington Community Fund responded with a $1,500 grant to assist families.

The Fund’s Advisory Council is continually looking for ways to enhance the quality of life for the people in Burlington, and that is why the Burlington Bell, donated to the citizens of Burlington by Bob Merriman, stands as a symbol for the fund - it calls the community to action to help their neighbors.

Five years ago a group of individuals became concerned about the challenges facing local men and boys. They approached Main Street Community Foundation for advice and assistance. Through several community meetings with local leaders, social service providers and businesses to discuss and identify the unmet needs of local men and boys, the Men & Boys’ was established.

As the Men & Boys’ Fund continued to grow, they went back to their roots. The Fund’s volunteers continually work to identify important local needs and educating others about those needs through conversations with individuals and small groups.

Conversations in 2021 continued to reveal that boys struggle in school and underperform academically; mentoring for boys and men is critical; boys need access to life skills development; and building confidence in boys is essential.

These conversations have also helped to inform the Men & Boys’ Fund’s grantmaking, and in 2021, a record $7,500 was awarded to four organizations.

Three of the grants will continue funding the following high impact programs – Boys & Girls Club of Bristol’s Passport to Manhood; City of Bristol Youth and Community Services’ Skills to Pay the Bills, Men’s Edition; and The Children’s Law Center’s legal representation of male children in family court.

The final grant was awarded to a new program Plainville Adult and Continuing Education’s Boot 30

The Fund serves six communities – Bristol, Burlington, Plainville, Plymouth, Southington and Wolcott – and many grants have supported individuals from all communities. Since 2016, $30,200 has been awarded in program grants, and nearly $6,000 has been awarded in immediate response grants, which are grants under $500 for men and boys who may be in need of immediate assistance due to a particular life situation or unexpected financial hardship.

Plainville Community Fund Fifteen years ago a group of community leaders in Plainville came together with a common but simple goal: to enhance the quality of life for Plainville residents.

The fund creates a permanent resource for charitable programs and projects. In 2006, the Plainville Community Fund was established at Main Street Community Foundation.

Since that time, the Fund has become a true asset of the community. MSCF has awarded 95 total grants from the Fund totaling $106,000 to organizations working to improve the lives of Plainville residents.

The Plainville Community Fund Advisory Committee regularly assesses the needs in town, which inform the grantmaking. Grants have been made from the Plainville Community Fund to make the community stronger and to help meet the changing needs of Plainville residents. The annual Plainville PumpkinFest, which has become a signature event in town, recognized the impact of the Fund, and for several years the Fund has been the beneficiary of proceeds raised at the event.

It is due to proceeds from such an event, other fundraising initiatives and the generous donors

Women & Girls Fund The Fund began in 2001 with a living room meeting of local, dedicated women. There was so much enthusiasm that the women came out of that meeting with a task force and working committees formed. Focus groups were then held in each of the six communities served, and funds were raised. The first grants were awarded in 2002: $7,000 to six organizations and programs.

The Fund celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2021, and has distributed a total of over $665,000 in grants and immediate response funds since its establishment to improve the conditions and opportunities for women and girls in Bristol, Burlington, Plainville, Plymouth, Southington and Wolcott.

While the Fund continues to grow, one thing that has never changed is the generosity and commitment of its donors, volunteers and supporters. It is thanks to them that the Fund is able to impact more and more women and girls each year.

Contributing to the Fund’s wide reach is the appropriately titled Wonder of Women (WOW) event held annually. After having to cancel the 2020 event, the September 8, 2021 WOW welcomed approximately 350 guests to the Aqua Turf to reflect and celebrate. A highlight of the event was the announcement of the 20th Anniversary grant recipients. To commemorate this milestone, the Women & Girls Fund committed $20,000 for a grant program to award unrestricted support to nonprofit organizations. Eligible applicants were asked to answer a single question: “Twenty years from now, what do you hope others see as your organization’s legacy for women and girls?”

The WOW event was so successful that an additional $45,000 was awarded in grants to local organizations that have a longstanding relationship with the Fund and are providing critical programs for women and girls. The listing of all grants awarded – a record $65,000 to 18 organizations – can be found on page 14.

The proceeds from the WOW event are not the only source of funding for grants from the Fund; there 31

throughout the last 15 years that the Fund has grown to be able to meet so many needs in the community.

In 2021, a total of $12,000 in grants were awarded to eight organizations. Grants supported causes such as domestic violence prevention programs; enrichment activities for all ages and food for the food pantry. A full list of the grants awarded from Plainville Community Fund this year can be found on page 14 of this Annual Report.

Combatting Period Poverty in Local Schools and Shelters Did you know one-in-five teens struggle to afford period products and have missed a day of school due to that? Or that 46 percent of low-income women have had to choose between buying period products or a meal? Furthermore, did you know that these necessary products are not covered by WIC and SNAP benefits, and schools do not always have access to extra products, especially ones that may fit teen girls?

Wanting to do even more to help the local communities, the Women & Girls Fund organized a collection of feminine hygiene products to combat period poverty in Bristol, Burlington, Plainville, Plymouth, Southington and Wolcott.

Hundreds of items were collected before and during the Fund’s WOW event. They were distributed to local schools, shelters and human service agencies.

Bradley Henry Barnes & Leila Upson Barnes Memorial Trust For close to half a century, the Bradley Henry Barnes & Leila Upson Barnes Memorial Trust has worked to improve the health and well-being of anyone calling Southington home. The Trust has become widely recognized as a permanent fixture in the community bringing forth innovative approaches and positive change through thoughtful and sustainable investments in local healthcare institutions and well-being initiatives.

From the establishment of the Trust in 1973 through 2012, funding was directed only to Bradley Memorial Hospital, now the Hospital of Central Connecticut. In 2013, the Barnes Trust broadened its grantmaking in accordance with the trust agreement. Before doing so, MSCF commissioned a community health needs assessment to better understand the health and healthcare needs in the Southington community. Through this assessment, opportunities for support were identified that would address gaps in services and promote efforts to strengthen the health and well-being of community members. As a result, the decision was made to begin a community-based grantmaking program to provide capital improvement and programmatic grants supporting the health and well-being of Southington residents.

Prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the Trust’s Advisory Committee commissioned a second needs assessment to build on findings from the first study. Findings from this assessment, titled A Study of Community Health and Healthcare Needs | Southington, Connecticut, may be found by visiting mainstreetfoundation.org/publications. The following community health and healthcare priority grantmaking areas were identified based on these findings: n Health/Health Care Needs for an Aging Population n Substance Use and Mental Health n Healthy Initiatives and Lifestyle including, but not limited to: • COVID-19 related needs and recovery efforts • Availability and Access to Healthy Food • Environmental Protection and Sustainability of Natural Resources • Fitness and Health • Health Equity • Health Literacy and Education • Transportation and Access to Health Services While the newly identified priority areas remain the primary focus of all grantmaking from the Trust, the COVID-19 pandemic also highlighted the importance of strengthening and sustaining organizations doing the work to protect and improve the health and well-being of Southington residents. In 2020, the Trust awarded unrestricted operating support grants as well as grants in direct response to COVID-19 in an effort to support organizations in an impactful and meaningful manner. As the pandemic continued in 2021 and Southington healthcare and nonprofit organizations continued to face financial challenges , the Trust awarded its first grants of the year to existing and past grantees to enhance the sustainability and capacity of community partners.

Six organizations were awarded grants for the continuation of programs and initiatives previously supported by the Trust for equipment, supplies and technology needs related to COVID-19 as well as unrestricted operating support.

As the Southington community continued to recover and the Advisory Committee took stock of ongoing needs, the Trust pivoted and held a second grant cycle to support capital projects, programs or initiatives that enhance the health and wellbeing of Southington residents. Ten organizations received grant support that aligned with the established priority areas outlined in the needs study.

In addition, six responsive grants were awarded to organizations to address urgent and immediate needs in the community. The Trust also sponsored numerous local events throughout the year. A full list of all the grants awarded from the Trust in 2021 – totaling $857,213 - can be found on page 33 of this Annual Report.

The Barnes Memorial Trust Advisory Committee is dedicated to the continuous assessment of the rapidly changing needs in Southington related to health and well-being. Conversations with key community stakeholders and partners are ongoing, and the grantmaking strategy is often adjusted to ensure community needs are being met. In 2021, in response to the mounting mental health crisis in Southington, the Advisory Committee began preliminary conversations with local health care organizations to identify potential avenues of support for emerging local mental health programming. Additionally, the Advisory Committee established a mental health subcommittee to further explore possible programmatic solutions to this crisis. Collaborative conversations and efforts to identify pathways to support the mental health of Southington residents will continue in 2022.

The Bradley Henry Barnes & Leila Upson Barnes Memorial Trust was originally established in 1973 by the late Bradley Henry Barnes of Southington to support the health and health care needs of Southington residents. The Trust was transferred to MSCF in 2004 and has since awarded over $11.4 million in grants. When Bradley first created the Trust, which is now valued at over $22 million, he most likely did not envision a global pandemic or the tangible impact his legacy would have on the Southington community. But the Foundation, with guidance from the Barnes Trust Advisory Committee, was able to act quickly to meet the health and wellbeing needs of Southington in this time of great uncertainty largely due to Bradley’s foresight and love for his community.

Friends of the Foundation We gratefully acknowledge the Friends of Main Street listed on this page who generously supported our 2021 annual Friends Appeal. This annual campaign, overseen by past board member and founder Tom Barnes, provides necessary administrative financial support to advance the charitable activities of the Foundation to better serve your communities.

We want to take this opportunity to sincerely thank the many campaign donors and volunteers. Without your gifts in 2021, we would not have been able to respond to your communities’ most pressing needs.

In appreciation, a donor and friends reception is held annually to honor and thank the Foundation’s donors and volunteers. After a year hiatus, the Friends Reception was held in August at Wood Acres Farm in Terryville.

Nearly 130 Friends attended the outdoor reception, enjoying the property, great food and a quintet from the Bristol Brass and Wind Ensemble. The night also featured belated 25th anniversary greetings through city and town proclamations.

Special appreciation to Dawn Nielsen for designing the invitation, and Garrett Printing & Graphics for their donation of printing.

Sincere gratitude to our hosts Joyce and Ken Wood for their hospitality, including the magnificent horse-drawn carriage rides.

Your support means more than ever before, and you can be proud of the comprehensive center for leadership and philanthropy you have created and helped to sustain for the benefit of your local communities, both now and forever.
