Among the many organizations he chooses to support are the public library and land conservation trust in his hometown of Guilford. And thanks to awareness generated by The Foundation’s Making a Good Gift Better program, he now supports the Community Soup Kitchen in New Haven, as well. From Stuart’s point of view, the ease with which he can go online to make a grant recommendation is one of the great benefits provided by The Foundation. “The Foundation handles the details of a small giving program and keeps a record of the gifts 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.
