Supporting Organizations
Donors choose this as an alternative to private
foundations. The Community Foundation of Greater
New Britain performs administrative, investment
management and grantmaking functions. The
supporting organization avoids the many strict
regulations and reporting burdens that affect
private foundations and benefits from a more
favorable tax treatment.
he Community Foundation of Greater New Britain mourns the recent loss of three of its pioneers, Talcott Stanley, William E. Attwood, Jr., and
Ronald F.L. Gilrain, who each played instrumental roles in the establishment and growth of the Foundation.
Talcott Stanley, who passed away on April 15, 2008, was a long-time executive with Connecticut Bank & Trust and devoted his life to
community service. He served as either treasurer or vice president of the Alix W. Stanley Charitable Foundation for 45 years and was instrumental along
with his colleague, William Atwood, in that Foundation’s merger with the now-Community Foundation; he also served on the Community
Foundation’s board until 2003. The Talcott Stanley Fund honors Talcott’s 45 years of service to the Alix W. Stanley Charitable Foundation.
William Attwood, who passed away on April 17, 2008, was the long-time chairman and president of the board of the former New Britain
Bank and Trust Company. A lifelong civic leader, Bill served as president of the Alix W. Stanley Charitable Foundation from 1954 until its merger with
the Community Foundation’s predecessor, the New Britain Foundation for Public Giving, in 1999. The Community Foundation’s William E. Attwood, Jr.,
Fund honors Bill’s 45 years of service to the Alix W. Stanley Charitable Foundation.
Ronald Gilrain, who passed away on May 14, 2008, was a marketing and public affairs executive with The Stanley Works for 33 years,
retiring in 1993. He had a lifelong history of civic engagement, and served as chairman of the then-New Britain Foundation for Public Giving from
1987 to 1993. The Ronald and Alice Gilrain Fund honors Ron’s leadership as chairman of the Foundation’s board.
The Community Foundation offers its sincerest gratitude to these three gentlemen for their vision and leadership, and its heartfelt
condolences to the Stanley, Attwood and Gilrain families.
