2 HARTFORDBUSINESS.COM | GIVING GUIDE 2022 Supporting Nonprofits in Uncertain Times W elcome to the 13th edition of the Giving Guide: Business Gives Back. Nonprofits are facing unprecedented challenges: increased demands for services, shrinking resources, labor shortages, inflation and economic uncertainty. Now more than ever, they urgently need our support. With so many deserving nonprofits, it's sometimes difficult to discern and prioritize corporate and individual giving. The Giving Guide can help. We compiled this year's Giving Guide to inform and connect you with the organizations that align with what you care about and how you can maximize the impact of your giving. The Profiles section features informational profiles of a cross-section of nonprofits providing insight into how these organizations are responding to critical post-pandemic needs. You can learn more about their mission, goals, area of service, giving and volunteer opportunities, as well as the business and community leaders guiding them. The Nonprofit Directory provides a listing of a broad section of nonprofits. The nonprofit sector is essential to meeting the needs of our communities and is pivotal to our state's economy. The Giving Guide digital edition can be viewed — and shared — year-round and includes direct links to the featured nonprofit websites. You can access the digital edition at: www.HartfordBusiness.com/digital-editions. Hartford Business Journal is proud to be part of such a caring and generous business community. We honor the many nonprofit organizations who step up everyday to serve our communities with compassion and conviction. We thank our founding sponsors — Hartford Foundation for Public Giving and United Way of Central and Northern Connecticut — and the many businesses, organizations and individuals who empower and support their efforts. With tougher times ahead, the nonprofits are counting on us. "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."
