2O14ANNUALREPORT
+ KINDNESS + NEIGHBORS + FRIENDS + CARE + HOME =
New Canaan is a unique community. It is hard to put into words what makes our Town so special.
Since 1977, the Community Foundation has worked to support New Canaan’s charitable
resources and ensure that New Canaan retains its extraordinary character. We empower
donors and nurture local nonprofits to improve the quality of life for our residents and our
neighbors. We teach the importance of philanthropy to the next generation of charitable
leaders. Our donors’ support and dedicated volunteer leadership make our efforts possible.
We are proud that our work in 2014 made our community stronger and more vibrant:
• 100% of all unrestricted contributions went out as grants in our main award cycle;
• Over $1.2 Million in high-impact grants and life-changing scholarships were awarded
to area nonprofits and local students;
• We launched our I ♥New Canaan photo contest and received 105 photos that
illustrate the many reasons we love this Town;
• Our professional development group for Executive Directors of New Canaan nonprofit
organizations convened quarterly to provide a valuable educational opportunity for local leaders;
• The Young Philanthropists program engaged 36 high school students in active learning about
giving and the role of nonprofit organizations and charity in their lives and our community;
• Our Touch A Life Luncheon featuring guest speaker Lee Woodruff inspired attendees to get
involved and make a difference in the lives of others;
• Guests at our Annual Meeting learned from the President of the Connecticut Council for
Philanthropy about the importance of philanthropy in a democratic society;
• Several nonprofit organizations established funds at the Community Foundation to manage their
operating reserves so they can focus on their mission.
Our ability to support the community is made possible by our generous donors. We received gifts from more
contributors than ever before, up 15% from 2013. We received $1,021,000 in contributions from all sources,
including our Fall outreach fundraising efforts.
Thank you. Your generosity of spirit helps us continue the charitable traditions of our Town, and create a new
legacy of giving for generations to come. We could not do our work without you.
Sincerely,
Dave Hunt Cynthia GoreyPresident, Board of Directors Executive Director
