Our Values

Family

We strive to spark a philanthropic spirit in future generations of the Leever family. We believe that we are stronger and more effective as a foundation when we share and utilize our diverse perspectives. We hope that by working together creating meaningful change in Waterbury, we will enhance Harold and Ruth Ann’s legacy by creating a family culture and tradition of philanthropy, and that we motivate and unify the family to continue this critical work for generations to come.
