The Foundation promotes informed charitable giving and participates actively in efforts to identify key community needs and opportunities, as well as the means to address them. GOALS The Hartford Foundation for Public Giving is a catalyst for the Greater Hartford community. We unite often divergent groups for a greater goal: to enable all within the 29-town region we serve to thrive. We think big, take appropriate risks and invest for the long term, aiming for systemic solutions that ensure that everyone, and in particular our children, are given every opportunity to succeed. • As a philanthropic leader in Greater Hartford, we bring individuals and organizations together, coalesce their efforts, and spur them to action through grantmaking, professional training and innovation. • As a community collaborator and catalyst, we walk the walk, modeling equity and diversity, and setting high standards for inclusion. • As a responsive participant in the community, we ardently support new ideas and new ways of working to address the most pressing needs in the communities we serve. • As an earnest supporter of education to build an informed and self-sustaining society, we embrace learning in all its forms and for all who seek it. GIVING OPPORTUNITIES Anyone can create a fund or contribute to an existing fund that best suits that person's circumstances, goals for giving, and desire for involvement. Unrestricted funds allow donors to authorize the Hartford Foundation to use the fund's income for grants wherever the greatest needs arise. Donor-advised funds allow donors to consult with the Foundation's experienced program staff for guidance on effective grants in their areas of interest and to recommend specific grants. A donor may also create a fund to support a favorite organization, cause, community and/or population. Visit www.hfpg.org for comprehensive information on how you can make a difference. VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES Volunteers from the public and business communities serve on various advisory committees, providing guidance to the Foundation on issues related to charitable giving, scholarships, and finance and investment.
