CCARC Foundation, Inc.

The CCARC Foundation, Inc. was established in January 2008.

The CCARC Foundation, Inc. was established as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization in January 2008. The CCARC Foundation was created to provide an entity of giving to help CCARC in its future stability to provide the needed services to people with disabilities. The Foundation is investing its funds with The Griffen Group – Merrill Lynch and also has a fund with the Community Foundation of Greater New Britain.

The CCARC Foundation, Inc. was established with the mission of supporting the programs and goals of CCARC, Inc. This year has been pivotal in the life of the Foundation. Investment policies were established and the investment firm of Merrill Lynch was chosen to manage the bulk of the Foundation’s funds. To lay the groundwork for future growth, the Board developed and approved “Gift Acceptance Policies and Guidelines” with detailed information for potential donors and their financial advisors about ways to support the Foundation.

The Foundation embarked on its next major challenge by creating a Steering Committee to investigate the potential for a planned giving campaign. If approved, the campaign would encourage donors to consider future gifts to the Foundation through their wills and other estate planning tools. The Foundation is prepared to accept planned gifts through the established Leave a Legacy program, but a campaign would offer more opportunities for donors to learn about planned giving options to support the Foundation.
