“I’ve been involved with the Community Foundation for years now including my time on the board and ultimately serving as board chair. From that experience, I was inspired by the mission of the Foundation, it’s partnership with the community, with donors who establish funds or scholarships, and how it thoughtfully addressed the needs of the Greater New Britain area.  All of that led our family to establish the Tanner Family Donor Advised Fund at the Community Foundation in 2011.  Growing the fund has been a family affair with our children also participating as donors and we love the idea that regardless of where we are standing at any particular moment we know that our family fund will continue to impact the community in a positive way for many years to come. Janis and I also decided to designate a planned gift to the Tanner Family Fund as part of our estate plan and we’re pleased to be members of the Community Foundation’s Beehive Legacy Society. ”  – Larry Tanner, former CFGNB board member

“The Austrian Donau Society is pleased to work with the Community Foundation of Greater New Britain both with regard to our Scholarship Fund and our Cultural Fund.  The safety of these dedicated funds is insured and our investment obligations are relieved.  The Foundation offers professional assistance with regard to the awarding of the scholarship and our charitable intentions.  This is invaluable to us because we are entirely volunteer-based. Our mission is not intended to end with this generation.  The Community Foundation is an ideal vehicle to hold these assets in perpetuity.” – Atty. Dennis Kern, Austrian Donau Club
