The Hartford Foundation for Public Giving has established a $100,000 Community Fund for the Town of Andover.

The purpose of the Community Funds is to:

  • support the community in taking ownership around the needs in their towns
  • encourage broad and inclusive civic engagement and
  • anchor the Hartford Foundation in each town.

Your town will form an advisory committee that is inclusive and reflective of all town residents, to manage a participatory process to identify your town's needs and allocate community funds.

Michael Burke, George Elliott, Karen Hunter, Marcie Miner, Cathy Palazzi, Jessica Vance
