Description
The Bradley Henry Barnes and Leila Upson Barnes Memorial Trust, administered by Main Street Community Foundation, supports the health and well-being of residents of Southington, Connecticut. Established by the late Bradley Henry Barnes of Southington, the Trust funds 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations through grants for programs, capital requests, and community health initiatives.
Funding priorities include the health and healthcare needs of an aging population, behavioral health, and healthy initiatives and lifestyles. These encompass access to healthy food, environmental protection and natural-resource sustainability, fitness and health, health equity, and health literacy and education. Transportation and access to health services are also priorities. The Trust supports both new projects and continued funding for work it already supports.
