Gifts in Action
Your gift can make great things happen.
You already know that we are dedicated to addressing emerging needs and improving the Greater Hartford region. But you may not know exactly how we can use your gift to make that happen.
Your donations make our region better.
Our donors care deeply about Greater Hartford. We put that philanthropy into action to create strong, vibrant communities. We focus our resources on the people, places, and programs that face the greatest barriers to opportunity. When you give, you help us address disparities, dismantle structural racism, and advance economic and social mobility.
Your support helps further our mission.
How? When you make a gift to us, your valuable donation may go to grantmaking, partnerships, and scholarships designed to serve nearly 800,000 residents across 29 towns. Donations help us accomplish the following five long-term outcomes:
- Expanded employment opportunities
- Improved physical and emotional well-being of residents
- More thriving Greater Hartford neighborhoods
- Strengthened civic engagement, education, and movement-building
- Greater equity and inclusion in the arts and culture sector
Everybody has a role to play in creating change. As a community foundation, we have the knowledge and expertise to understand the region’s challenges and bring people and organizations together to build long-term solutions for the good of our neighbors and our towns.
