Anne Hope Bennett. Frank and Ross Gates. Stuart Low. Al Johnson and the New Haven Boulé. Bert and Carol
Sacco. Katherine Dana English. These individuals—living at different times, coming from different backgrounds,
having different priorities—shared a commitment to their community of Greater New Haven and the foresight
to know that they could advance their own visions of a better community by creating an endowed fund at
The Community Foundation.
The Alderman and Osterweis families—connected by marriage—have possessed this same commitment and
vision in abundance. For forty years, the generosity of this extended clan has served as a reminder of all that
philanthropy can mean to those who give and to the broader community. Their giving has served both to honor
their departed loved ones and to advance the causes they care about most.
The stories of these individuals and families are set forth in the pages that follow. Taken together, these stories are
about the give and take of community philanthropy; they are about how giving dollars and taking pride in oneʼs
community today translates to giving hope and taking responsibility for our communityʼs tomorrow. And these
stories are about how The Community Foundation, as the communityʼs charitable endowment, has worked with
these people to see that their community aspirations are realized and to grow the funds they have established.
The funds established by these individuals and families are just a few of the many at The Foundation, and the
causes they support only hint at the breadth of organizations receiving Foundation support. This annual report lists
these funds and grantees in full to illustrate both the powerful legacy of giving represented by our almost 700
separate funds and the ways in which those funds remain alive and vibrant today, taking action to enable local
non-profit organizations to meet this communityʼs toughest challenges and seize its most inspiring opportunities.
As The Foundation looks to the end of its eighth decade, we are looking forward. Our resolve is to find new ways
to be of service to donors, to partner with non-profits, to reach out and listen, and to mobilize the community to
focus on its needs and opportunities. As we do so, we are confident that the stories of commitment and foresight
that are this communityʼs proud philanthropic history will be expanded upon, so that in the coming decades our
successors will tell the stories of how this generation too believed in the communityʼs future and built the
communityʼs endowment as an expression of that belief.
On behalf of the Board and staff of The Community Foundation, we would welcome the opportunity to work with
you in defining and carrying out your aspirations for the future of our shared community.

Their father, Abner, had a close relationship to the community through the family’s furniture company,
while their mother, “Nan”, was a volunteer chair of the Yale-New Haven Hospital gift shop.
In 1969, the Abner A. Alderman Fund was established through gifts from family and friends as
a permanent memorial to the father and husband who was known as a gentle, hardworking man. The
fund’s name would be amended some 30 years later to include his wife’s name after her death.
“My parents’ interest in and concern for others encouraged my brother and me to become
actively involved in our community,” says Jean. “I think our lives reflect what we’ve learned from them
about giving back and the importance of caring about others.”
Years after the Alderman family established their fund, Stanley Loewenstein set up a fund in
memory of his sister, Ruth Osterweis. Loewenstein, a founder of West Virginia’s Greater Kanawha
Valley Foundation, knew that an endowment was the best way to permanently honor the generous spirit
of his sister and benefit the New Haven community she grew to love.
Elders give children lesson of philanthropy,
children take the lead in community activism
“My mother devoted countless hours to volunteering at several non-profit organizations in New
Haven,” recalls Nancy Osterweis Alderman, who is married to Myles Alderman. “She was a wonderful
listener who always had time for others. My father was equally generous in sharing his time and talents
not only with his Yale students and their college organizations but also with a number of New Haven
non-profits, including the New Haven Historical Society and New Haven Preservation Trust.”
The unrestricted funds created by the Alderman and Osterweis families are flexible vehicles that
support a broad range of charitable programs each year.

Continuing the family pattern of philanthropy, Myles, Jean and Nancy have all volunteered for
Foundation-related projects and are working to improve our human and natural resources.
After many years in the family business, Myles joined the development staff of The Nature
Conservancy of Connecticut. He is a former member of The Foundation’s finance and development
committees and a founding member of New Haven’s Urban Resources Initiative Inc. (URI). URI is a
non-profit that collaborates with local New Haven community groups, residents and The Foundation to

How a $10,000 Fund Grows
Over 50 Years.
In just 50 years, a $10,000 endowed fund will
increase to $70,575 in principal. Over the same
period of time it would give out $80,683 in grants.
This growth is possible because The Foundation
achieves some of the nationʼs best investment
returns among community foundations,
year after year. See page 54 for details.

How Establishing a Fund
Builds a Stronger Community.
The story of the Alderman-Osterweis legacies is just
one example—among hundreds—of how Greater
New Haven residents are realizing their personal
visions and honoring loved ones. Through endowments,
your vision can live far beyond today to make positive,
sustainable change in your community. Your page in
history awaits you. See page 6 for Funds list.

eplant, restore, and reclaim the urban environment. He continues to serve on URI’s board and consults
for environmental agencies.
Jean Adnopoz has had a long-term interest in children and families and the health and social
systems that support them. She is the former chair of the Special Commission on Infant and Child
Health—a Foundation and City-driven effort in the 80s to reduce New Haven’s high infant mortality rate.
Today, she is a clinical professor at the Yale Child Study Center and coordinates family programs that
deliver support services to vulnerable children, some with serious emotional disturbances, and their families.
Nancy’s work concentrates on environmental issues. While president (1983‒1986) of the
Connecticut Fund for the Environment (CFE), she helped bring a lawsuit against the UpJohn Company
in North Haven that had for years created both air and water pollution in that town. A settlement led to
The Quinnipiac River Fund at The Foundation which annually distributes grants to keep the River clean.
Following CFE, Nancy founded and is now president of Environment and Human Health Inc.
(EHHI), which tries to protect human health from environmental harms through research, education and
promotion of sound public policy. EHHI receives some of its funding through an “organization
endowment” of the same name at The Foundation, set up by a fellow environmental advocate.
The Alderman-Osterweis Family
2 families, 4 funds... together, they and their friends have given 40 years
(and counting) of community philanthropy to Greater New Haven.
1885
Morris H. Alderman opened the M.H. Alderman Company furniture
store in New Haven. His son Abner and grandson Myles succeeded
him in the business. Abner graduated NYU Law School at age 19
but took over the family store when his father died.
All photography throughout this story was supplied by the Alderman & Osterweis families.
1953
1962
Max Schwartz—Abner Aldermanʼs brother-in-law—sat on The Foundationʼs
Distribution Committee from ʼ62–ʼ69. He played an important part in the
Alderman familyʼs decision to create a memorial fund. “My family was well
aware of The Foundationʼs role in the community and thatʼs why we chose to
set up a fund (in memory of our father). We knew that it would be husbanded
well,” says Abnerʼs daughter, Jean Alderman Adnopoz.
Rollin G. Osterweis,
husband to Ruth Osterweis
and Yale professor,
committed New Havenʼs
history to paper in Three
Centuries of New Haven
1638–1938. The book is
considered to be the only
comprehensive document
of New Havenʼs earliest
history. Rollin volunteered
at the New Haven Historical
Society and New Haven
Preservation Trust among
other organizations.
1969
After Abner Aldermanʼs death in 1969, his
family established a fund at The Foundation
to honor him. “An unrestricted fund seemed
to best reflect Dadʼs varied interests,” says
son Myles, who recalls his father as, “a very
gentle, kind and hard-working man.”
Abner A. & Hannah S. Alderman Fund
Ruth L. Osterweis Fund
1983
Stanley Loewenstein
set up a fund in memory of
his sister, Ruth Osterweis,
who volunteered at the
Visiting Nurse Association
among other New Haven
organizations. As the founder
of West Virginiaʼs Greater
Kanawha Valley community
foundation, he knew that an
endowment was the best
way to permanently honor his
sisterʼs generous spirit and
take care of the New Haven
community that she loved.

1986
Author and Yale Child Study Center
clinical professor, Jean Alderman
Adnopoz, chaired the Special Commission
on Infant and Child Health—a Foundation
and city-driven effort to reduce the high
infant mortality rate in New Haven. Its
work continues with todayʼs New Haven
Healthy Start Initiative. Jeanʼs work at
Yale now focuses on family intervention
programs and community support systems
that ensure the safety, permanence and
stability of children throughout the State.
The Quinnipiac River Fund
1990
Victorious against water polluters, the
Connecticut Fund for the Environment
(CFE), with Nancy Osterweis Alderman
as president, won a million-dollar
court settlement. The Community
Foundation for Greater New Haven
was appointed as the steward of the
money on behalf of the community
and The Quinnipiac River Fund was
born. Nancy continues to chair the
Advisory Committee of the Fund which
makes grant recommendations to
The Foundationʼs Board.
1991
1997
Nancy Osterweis Alderman founded
a unique research and advocacy
organization, Environment & Human
Health Inc. This non-profitʼs mission
is to protect human health from
environmental harms.
Environment & Human Health Inc. Fund
Myles Alderman became the first chairman of
the Board of Directors for the newly created
Urban Resources Initiative (URI). With him he
brought an expertise in finance, administration
and development as former president and CEO
of his familyʼs furniture company. URI is a
“social forestry” program that mobilizes schools
and neighborhoods to create healthy, safe
and attractive green spaces. With support
from The Foundation through the Community
Greenspace program, URIʼs urban restoration
projects have planted more than 1,000 trees.
Myles continues to serve on URIʼs Board and
consults for other environmental organizations.
2001
2002
When Hannah S. Alderman died, the Alderman
family memorialized her by adding her name to
the Fund that was created for her husband,
Abner, in 1969. “My mother was very interested
in the community,” says daughter Jean.
An environmental advocate created a million-dollar fund
at The Community Foundation for Greater New Haven
to support the important work of Environment & Human
Health Inc. (EHHI). Nancy Alderman, president of EHHI
said, “creating that endowment at The Foundation was
the best stewardship of those funds.”

“Nutritious food is essential to the prevention of sickness and proper absorption of medications,” says
Marsha Royster, the executive director of FISH of Greater New Haven.
And she should know. Her volunteer organization provides direct homebound distribution of
nutritious food to approximately 20,000 ill, aged or differently-abled individuals in New Haven.
“We’re the only agency in the area offering delivered grocery service to help those in need who
don’t have transportation to soup kitchens,” she continues.
In 2007, FISH saw an increase in the number of working families calling for assistance. A trend that
Royster believes will continue given the dramatic rise in energy costs and today’s tough economic climate.
Fortunately, FISH was able to carry out its direct distribution services and cope with the increase
in food requests due, in part, to the charitable foresight of a Foundation donor named Anne Hope
Bennett, who lived over a half a century ago. The donor was the heiress to the Winchester Repeating Arms
Company and known for her community work in New Haven. By bequest, she established an endowed
Ensuring that healthy food continues
to be delivered to the homebound
fund in 1943 to address the prevention and cure of sickness and to support a number of her beloved
organizations in Greater New Haven. The fund has generated more than $3.2 million to non-profit
organizations and touched the individual lives of countless people in crisis throughout Greater New Haven.
Endowed funds benefit the community forever. Your gift and all future earnings
from your gift become a permanent source of charitable capital, that helps
non-profits today and that is stewarded by The Foundation for the benefit of
future generations.

TEAM Inc. received $100,000 toward a renovation of the 2nd floor of its facility in Derby. The
renovation was completed in June 2008 and houses a dental clinic operated by Hill Health Corporation
of New Haven. The clinic is named after Richard O. Belden, to honor the late Representative’s dedication
and commitment to his Valley constituents.
“The conversation to increase the dental clinic’s capacity actually began several years ago with
Head Start moms, parents of children with mental retardation and people living with mental illness,”
recalls Bob Kilpatrick, director of marketing and public relations for Hill Health Center. “Each was
finding it difficult to locate private dental practices in the Valley that would accept Medicaid
and HUSKY.”
Now, the dental clinic’s ability to deliver services to Valley families of modest means has tripled;
a sliding fee schedule has been implemented for those without dental insurance. A good thing for the
children living in low-income households who are more likely to suffer tooth decay due to poor nutrition.
Increasing dental and behavioral
health services to Valley residents
The renovation also expanded behavioral health service programs for children offered by the
Lower Naugatuck Valley Parent Child Resource Center.
“Having additional space at TEAM doubles the size of our intensive outpatient program,” says
Michael Wynne, CEO of the Lower Naugatuck Valley Parent Child Resource Center.
“It comes at a particularly important time as we have noticed an increase in the number of teens
experiencing anxiety and depression over the past few years.”
Funding for the expansion project was made possible by the Ross Fletcher and Frank Hegeman
Gates Fund which was established in the 1950s by bequests of the two brothers from Derby.
The Gates Society at The Foundationʼs affiliate—the Valley Community
Foundation—is named to honor Frank & Ross Gates whose bequests have
benefited the Valley community in profound ways, including providing core
operational support for the Valley Community Foundation. The Gates Society
recognizes those individuals who, like the Gates brothers, have included a
charitable gift in their estate plans through the Valley Community Foundation.

In addition to the TEAM grant, the
Gates Fund generated over $1.1
million in 2007 that supported a wide
range of projects benefiting the Valley.
Examples include a Youth Golf
Program at the Boys & Girls Club,
natural history presentations at the
Ansonia Nature Center and the
implementation of a comprehensive
economic development strategy for
the region.

for you,” says the retiree, former CEO of a family-owned manufacturer of drug store sundries and the
public relations executive for Pfizer and Crowell-Collier Publishing.
“The computerized system of recommending grants has simplified the mechanics for the donor.”
And that means Stuart has more time to devote to his family, friends and hobbies—and to
share some interesting stories.
Making a commitment to his local community
via an active relationship with The Foundation
There’s his tour of duty in WWII from 1941–1945.
“We were one of the groups to make it to Berlin,” recalls Stuart, who oversaw a company of
heavy duty trucks.
Or, there’s a highlight of his career in public relations—producing Pfizer’s first public awareness
campaign in the 50s—using a new medium, an advertising supplement in the Sunday New York Times.
Stuart is a treasure chest of stories and a man deeply committed to seeing his local community
prosper. A love of place is one reason why his donor advised fund will become a preference fund to
benefit Guilford after he and his family no longer wish to direct their charitable giving.
Donors work with The Foundation to help them define and carry out their priorities
today and ensure their legacy for tomorrow. They connect with each other, benefit
from the knowledge gleaned from The Foundationʼs work, and engage more fully
in whatʼs happening with the community.

Donor advised funds like the Stuart
Low Fund distributed approximately
$3.1 million in 2007.

Last year not only marked the 155th birthday of Edward Bouchet—the first African American to earn a
doctorate from an American university—but the creation of a new scholarship fund at The Foundation
inspired by Bouchet’s legacy.
A native of New Haven, Bouchet became the sixth American to receive a doctorate in physics at
Yale College in 1876. He also trained thousands of African American teachers who were needed throughout
the country after the Civil War to provide freed men and women with the education they sought.
The Promising Scholars Fund treasury was moved to The Foundation in 2007 and with its
predecessor—the Edward A. Bouchet Award—it has already provided between four and six annual
financial awards each of the past twenty-two years. The Fund was established by the New Haven Boulé
of the Sigma Pi Phi Fraternity—the oldest African American Greek Letter Fraternity. Its purpose: to provide
access to education and social networking opportunities for deserving young African American men.
According to Boulé members, the Fund’s assets were moved to the Foundation for several
Sharing his success and wisdom
with African American youth
reasons. A couple of successful fundraisers inspired the Boulé to “get more structured and develop a long
term vision.”
Another consideration was The Foundation’s solid track record of investment performance.
“As an endowed scholarship fund at The Foundation, Promising Scholars can benefit from The
Foundation’s experienced money management team which, should over time, produce higher returns
than our past results,” explains Alvin Johnson, Boulé member and a retired vice president of Yale New
Haven Hospital.
“There was also an incentive to capitalize on the opportunity to double the impact of gifts
through The Foundation’s Communities of Color program,” he continues. The Communities of Color
Initiative awards dollars to several funds at The Foundation as part of its core work to recognize and pay
tribute to the legacy of charitable giving that exists in all communities of color and to increase giving at
the local, state, and national levels.
The Community Foundation has consistently ranked among the top of its peer
group for investment performance. A long-term asset allocation model produces
results that are carefully monitored against performance benchmarks.

In its first year as a Foundation Fund,
Promising Scholars awarded 4 grants
to seniors from New Haven, Norwalk,
Hartford and Waterbury who intend
to pursue medical and engineering
degrees. The Fund will hold an annual
Golf Tournament to raise additional
monies for scholarship awards.

food, shelter and clothing, we matched it
1:1 through our Making a Good Gift Better
donor-stimulus program.

According to Literacy Volunteers of Greater New Haven, more than 270,000 adults in New Haven
County are at the two lowest levels of literacy.
“Low literacy adults struggle each day with ordinary tasks that you and I might take for granted,”
says Doss Venema, the agency’s executive director.
Simple tasks like reading a prescription label or paying bills. In addition, adults with low
literacy skills make up much of our nation’s prison population.
In 2007, The Foundation directed unrestricted dollars to help expand the tutoring-training
program at Literacy Volunteers to address this important issue. Support for the grant was provided by
the more than 90 unrestricted funds at The Foundation—including the Sacco Family Fund, set up by
Carol and Humbert Sacco Jr. more than a decade ago.
Literacy Volunteers also benefited from a $3,000 grant from The Foundation’s Community
Fund for Women & Girls last year. The Fund was established in 1995 by a woman and has been built
by hundreds of gifts since then to its current value of more than $1 million. As part of its activities to
Making sure their neighbors
can read and write
support services for women and girls, it addresses issues of economic security, health, violence, political
participation—and education.
The Women & Girls’ grant supported The Next Step program helping Latina participants move
to a higher level of literacy so that they can give back more as parents, employees and members of their
community. The program has three distinct components: group literacy training, family literacy
instruction and lifeskills. Among the activities attended by participants were family game nights and
informational sessions such as how to navigate the library, how to take charge of household finances, and
how to become computer savvy.
Through an Unrestricted fund, you can address ever-changing community needs
and opportunities—including future issues that often cannot be anticipated at
the time your gift is made. Your flexible gift will always be relevant because it is
distributed to the community by The Foundation Board after careful evaluation of
all aspects of community well-being.

In 2011, the Neighborhood Music School (NMS) will celebrate 100 years of inspiring students of all ages
through the art of music, drama and dance.
And while it’s hard to imagine a Greater New Haven landscape without the school, there was a
time in the 1940s when the school’s future was uncertain. One report called for its dissolution unless
means could be found to carry out specific recommendations and organizational changes.
Fortunately, devoted music lovers like Katharine Dana English fought to preserve the valuable
institution. Mrs. English’s relationship to NMS began just out of college when she took a teaching job
at the school in the early 1920s. The cellist would later serve 5 years as the organization’s president.
Together with a host of other supporters, Mrs. English created a strong foundation which today supports
the largest independent non-profit community arts school in Connecticut and one of the 10 largest
community arts schools in the nation.
Ensuring that there will be
more musicians for years to come
In keeping with her actions in life, Mrs. English showed her support for NMS even after
her death in 1986 when she established a designated fund by bequest. The Katharine Dana English
Fund now generates thousands of dollars annually to NMS—providing financial aid and scholarships to
its students.
Two years after the English Fund was created, NMS established an organization endowment at
The Foundation through a transfer of assets. The Fund is another way to ensure additional revenue for
the organization in perpetuity and helps the school provide music education within the New Haven area.
In total, 11 funds at The Foundation distributed tens of thousands of dollars to NMS last year.
Including a gift in your will is easy, and an endowed fund insures that a gift of
even a small percentage of your estate will have meaningful impact forever.

For almost eighty years, The
Community Foundation has been
a trusted steward of the region’s
charitable funds, which at the
close of the year totaled more than
680. Each of these funds, whether
established through a donor’s
gift or bequest, or by a local
non-profit organization, serves a
specified purpose related to the
needs and opportunities of Greater
New Haven. At the end of 2007,
by virtue of the generosity of our
donors, the confidence placed in
us by local non-profits, and our
favorable investment performance,
the communities’ charitable
endowment grew to almost
$300 million.
The Foundation’s assets are
held either by a charitable
corporation set up by
The Foundation known as The
Community Foundation for
Greater New Haven Inc. (the
Corporation) or in trust by one
of its four trustee institutions:
Wachovia Bank, Bank of America,
NewAlliance Bank and People’s
Bank. Donors determine whether

Sending a global message
improves our environment.
One of the greatest legacies we
can leave for future generations is
clean and safe water. To do this, we
must protect water at its source and
the open spaces surrounding it. At
the invitation of The Foundation
and Watershed Fund, leading
environmentalists Chinaʼs Ma Jun
and Americaʼs Russell Brenneman
delivered that global message to an
audience of rapt activists.
Investment Management & Performance : 2007
a trustee or the Corporation will
manage the funds they establish.
In 2007, the investment of
The Corporation’s assets and Bank
of America’s trust assets continued
to be guided by its Investment
Committee consisting of
Foundation and external experts.
The Investment Committee
manages the risk and return on the
endowment using a framework
that allocates the charitable assets
to different types of investment
strategies under a long-term asset
allocation model (see Corporation’s

Preventing youth violence
creates a brighter future.
Responding to increases in youth
violence, The Foundation hosted
a forum to identify reasons and
possible remedies. Gifts from
donors like you made it possible for
The Foundation to make a grant of
$100,000 to hire Outreach Workers
to prevent youth violence. Partners
included the City of New Haven
(Community Services Administration),
the New Haven Police Department
and one or more community-based
non-profit organizations.
model on the following page).
Their efforts contributed to sound
investment results that exceeded
the market-based performance
benchmark and more than met
the community’s expectation of
endowment growth adequate to
both produce a steady stream of
charitable revenue and protect
against inflation.
In addition to benchmarking
the performance against marketdriven
indices, the Corporation
also compares its performance
against its community foundation
peers nationally. Since inception
of the national survey seven
years ago, the Corporation has
consistently ranked among the
top of its peer group.
On the following page is the
investment performance for the
Corporation and The Foundation’s
two largest trustees versus the
market-driven benchmark for the
periods ended 31 December 2007.
All data is expressed as annualized
percentages, and after the payment
