Knowing the issues and the facts puts us in a better position to act as catalysts for change. That’s why the Aurora Foundation commissioned the first comprehensive report assessing the condition and needs of women and girls in Greater Hartford. The details in the report inform Aurora’s grants program—and anyone working to improve conditions in our area.
When we’re inspired by an interest, it’s hard to merely watch passively. When we’re passionate about our subject, we immerse in the facts, revel in the research—but we don’t stop there. When we’re fired up to fix something, we have that feeling: “I can’t just stand here, I have to do something!”
The Aurora Foundation sprang into life to empower women and girls in Greater Hartford—and through them to empower their families and communities.
An undeniable ripple effect occurs when a woman attains economic stability and personal wellbeing. She doesn’t just benefit herself; she can better care for her family and contribute to her community.
Giving to the Aurora Foundation contributes to stronger and healthier communities in the Hartford area.
Traditional philanthropy does not meet the needs of women and girls. Yet women reinvest 90% of their earnings in their families. We know, therefore, that providing opportunity for a woman or girl creates a powerful agent of change for her entire community.
That’s why we started the Aurora Foundation: to unlock the potential in our communities. That’s why your contribution makes such a difference.
A group of community leaders and men in business have stepped up to raise funds to support the Aurora Foundation’s investment in women and girls in Greater Hartford.
