As the youngest members ever to create an endowment fund with the Foundation, the New Britain Youth Council is losing no time to give back to the city its members love. *The Foundation will be matching the first $800 in gifts to the New Britain Youth Leads Fund as part of the Young Philanthropy Initiative as well as the celebration of the 80th Anniversary of the Foundation.*
This year, the Foundation celebrates both its 80th Anniversary, as well as eclipsing $50 million in its endowment, beginning 2021 with more than $53 million in endowed funds.
Membership for Catalyst 2021 is now open and the chosen topic is community gardens, which bring people together in many cities and towns as a low-cost way for individuals and families to obtain healthy produce and a way to decrease food insecurity.
