DESIGNATED FUNDS
With a designated fund, donors can name one or
more nonprofit organizations with which they
have had a long-standing relationship, perhaps
as a volunteer, a board member or a donor, to
receive on-going support. They want assurance
that their gift will be used as they intended, quite
often for the long-term financial well being of
their favorite organization(s).
A designated fund may be created at the
Community Foundation with a gift of $5,000 or
more. The donor can then designate all or a
portion of the income from the fund to one or
more specific charities. Additional organizations
may be named with subsequent gifts of $5,000
per new organization.
The Foundation sends annual distributions to
the donor’s chosen charitable organizations as
calculated by spending policy so long as the
organization continues to carry out its stated
charitable purpose. If the nature of a designated
organization(s) changes so that it no longer
serves the intended purpose, or ceases to exist,
the Foundation will redirect income in such a
way as to fulfill the donor’s original intent.

Greta Rogers Cook Fund (1998)
The Greta Rogers Cook Fund was established to
benefit the New Britain Public Library and the
Klingberg Family Centers. Mrs. Cook, a native of
New Britain, held the Library in high esteem
because her great grandfather, David N. Camp,
helped to establish and lead it for decades.
Prudence Crandall Center Fund
(2006)
For more than 30 years, Prudence Crandall Center
has provided comprehensive services to victims
of domestic violence, including a 24-hour crisis
hotline, emergency shelter, individual and group
counseling, legal advocacy, a children’s program
and community education. The Center believes that
women are their own best resource, and works to
empower them through support and education.
This designated fund will serve to assist families
who are victims of domestic violence through
ongoing support of the Center’s programs and
services.
Friends of St. Mark’s Episcopal
Church Fund (2004)
The Friends of St. Mark’s Episcopal Church Fund
was established by members of the Vestry to create
a fund that will provide, in perpetuity, ongoing
support for Episcopalians in New Britain through
St. Mark’s Church. St. Mark’s Planned Giving
Committee wanted to give interested people the
opportunity to contribute locally to a permanent
fund that supports the church.
Iaia Fund in Memory of Antonio,
Ignazia, Joseph and Paul (2000)
The Iaia Fund in Memory of Antonio, Ignazia,
Joseph and Paul was established by the Rev.
Paul Iaia before his death as a permanent fund to
provide annual financial assistance to St. Ann
Church in New Britain. The Rev. Iaia, a New Britain
native, wanted to leave a lasting memorial to his
family and to honor the church and parish that
gave him his start in the priesthood.

Curtis and Degi Jennings Fund (2001)
The Curtis and Degi Jennings Fund was established
by the Jennings as their way of “giving back” to
their community. Both realized that there are
wonderful programs of an extracurricular and
enriching nature that the school system and the
PTO are unable to provide for. Therefore, they
designated the Jefferson Elementary School in
New Britain, where Degi was a teacher for 17 years,
as a beneficiary of their fund in order to provide
for those activities.
Edith Johnson Fund-1 (2003)
The Edith Johnson Fund-1 is one of two funds
established by bequest from Edith Johnson. This
fund, created for the benefit of the First Lutheran
Church of the Reformation, furthers the church’s
work with young people and helps bring music to
the people of New Britain.
Edith Johnson Fund-2 (2003)
The Edith Johnson Fund-2 is the second fund
established through Edith Johnson’s estate. The
New Britain Area Conference of Churches is the
beneficiary of Edith’s generosity. She expressed the
hope that the funds would especially be used to
further the group’s public education efforts.
Stanley and Anelia Kustra Fund (2005)
The Stanley and Anelia Kustra Fund was established
by bequest as a sign of caring for their community.
The fund’s purpose is to benefit the four organizations
that the couple held in highest esteem:
Hospital for Special Care’s pediatric programs;
The Hospital of Central Connecticut’s George Bray
Cancer Center; the Salvation Army of New Britain;
and Hartford Hospital’s cardiac programs.
Literacy Volunteers of Central
Connecticut Build-A-Fund (2005)
The board of directors of Literacy Volunteers of
Central Connecticut (LVCC) has established a
permanent endowed fund that will enhance the
organization’s work in providing instruction,
assistance and encouragement to adult members
of the community wanting to improve their skills
in reading, writing or speaking English. This fund
will build over the years, with the goal of reaching
permanent endowment status.
