Aurora Women and Girls Foundation

The Aurora Foundation serves as a catalyst for positive change in the lives of women and girls in Greater Hartford, with the intended effect of unlocking the potential of their families and surrounding communities.

• We conduct research and convene the community to promote understanding of gender issues, and to foster collaboration for effective solutions. 
• We educate and engage men and women in the power of philanthropy through a gender lens to improve social and economic outcomes for women and girls, along with their families and communities.
• We implement strategies — including targeted grantmaking — that take aim at obstacles to empower women and girls in Greater Hartford.
