The mission of the Trust is to collect, hold and manage these resources as a permanent endowment, and to distribute these resources in the form of grants and scholarships guided by a prudent Spending Policy, for local charitable uses and purposes.The organization is governed by a Trust Board of 15 local community leaders, selected for their knowledge of community needs and their involvement in advancing the welfare of Northwest Connecticut and the communities in which they reside.In an effort to provide more flexibility and expertise surrounding the engagement of investment managers and investment vehicles, the Trust established a corporate entity in 1999, known as The Community Foundation of Northwest Connecticut, Inc. Most of the new gifts and contributions are made to the corporate entity. The operations and governance structures of these two entities are substantively the same.Annually, the Torrington Area Foundation conducts and annual appeal from the communities it supports. The combined contributions average $75,000 to $90,000 from approximately 250 to 300 contributors. This broad based community support assists the Foundation in meeting its public support test on an annual basis.
