Hartford Neighborhood Development Support Collaborative
The Hartford Neighborhood Development Support Collaborative (the Support Collaborative) was formed in 1995 through the leadership efforts of the United Way of the Capital Area (now the United Way of Central & Northeastern CT), The Hartford Foundation for Public Giving, and the Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC).
Today, the Support Collaborative consists of twenty (20) funders including corporations, community and private foundations and the government sector that have invested over $5.3 million in operating support for neighborhood-based community development corporations (CDCs) in Hartford.
The mission of the Support Collaborative is predicated on the funders shared belief that strong community-based organizations are necessary if there is to be significant positive and enduring change in Hartfords neighborhoods. The Support Collaborative is staffed by LISC and provides operating support, technical assistance and training opportunities aimed at improving the operational and financial management systems of selected CDCs.
