This year, the Main Street Community Foundation is celebrating its 25th anniversary. Over the past 25 years, we have truly created a legacy of significant importance in the communities of Bristol, Burlington, Plainville, Plymouth, Southington and Wolcott for all generations that will follow. The support of many individuals, families and businesses has had a tremendous impact on our growth. 

Main Street Community Foundation has made the difficult decision to cancel The Main Event, a 25th Anniversary Celebration scheduled for September 12, 2020. Upon much thought and consideration of the current events and the enormous impact of COVID-19 on all communities – both nonprofits and businesses – MSCF’s focus is on the best way to provide assistance during this crisis and the recovery that will follow.

The local businesses, organizations and individuals who generously committed sponsorships to the Main Event have redirected their support to the Foundation’s COVID-19 Response Fund. This fund was established in March, to mobilize the necessary resources in support of the emerging needs in Bristol, Burlington, Plainville, Plymouth, Southington and Wolcott. To see a list of COVID-19 response and recovery grants click here.
