Hartford Bishops' Foundation's recent grant directed toward Catholic Charities in December 2018
December 31, 2018
With more than $13 million raised in total cash and pledges to date, the Hartford Bishops’ Foundation has distributed more than $1 million in strategic grants to Archdiocesan initiatives since May 2018. These funds have supported special projects and long-term initiatives across the state. Most recently a grant in the amount of $200,000 was awarded to last year’s Gala beneficiary, Catholic Charities.
The funds will be used for:
Learning and Life Skills Program- services for adults with developmental disabilities;
Centro San Jose- preparing children and teens in New Haven to thrive academically and emotionally;
Behavioral Health- provision of strength-based, family-driven, trauma-informed, and culturally and linguistically competent services
Elderly Care and Intergenerational Services- home, community, and center-based programs for senior citizens;
Family Centers- culturally appropriate and comprehensive care services to promote high quality early childhood experiences and parent support.
Grants from the Forward with Faith campaign will ultimately serve and empower at least 2,000 additional people annually in Catholic Charites programs such as Snack, Read and Play Group and GED classes throughout the state.
