The Killingworth Foundation is a nonprofit corporation dedicated to increasing the amount and the impact of local philanthropy in order to enhance the quality of life for the citizens and the
community of Killingworth, Connecticut.
Since 2007, The Killingworth Foundation has been building a charitable endowment to serve the citizens and the community of Killingworth. Our funds come from individual and group donations, and bequests from people who appreciate the continuity and flexibility that a permanent philanthropic foundation provides.
The Killingworth Foundation will provide seed money for new services and will fill needs not being met by other organizations or sources. In general, we will grant funds for special purposes, including buildings, equipment, land, and programs, but we will not commit the Foundation to recurring expenses.
Individuals or organizations making gifts or bequests to The Killingworth Foundation can be assured they have made a contribution that will be of enduring benefit to the town.

Foundation News
The Killingworth Foundation launched its fourth annual appeal in November. New brochures, underwritten by a grant from the Guilford Savings Bank and highlighting some of our grant awards, were included in the mailing.
We also distributed “The Killingworth Foundation Media Information Guide” for Killingworth’s nonprofit organizations. This handbook was designed to help our town’s nonprofits get their information about events and fundraisers out to the public. It introduces local media outlets, tells how to access them, and lists their specific guidelines and time frames.
As we begin our fifth year, we continue to seek timely and relevant ways to support the quality of life in our Killingworth community. Annual appeal funds have supported grants to our library, the Historical Society, and the Community Gardens. They have also provided funds for high school senior achievement awards and summer youth program scholarships.
