Ways to Donate
Make an Impact on Children in Hartford
The work we do continues because of the financial support we receive from the community.
Your investment in ConnectiKids will have a lasting impact on more than just one young person, it will have a ripple effect that reaches hundreds of kids and their families each year. Thank you, in advance, for believing in our children and our future!
There are several ways you can help us continue furthering our mission. You may choose to make an immediate donation and change the future of a child today, leave a legacy gift through planned giving and change the future of many of Hartford’s children tomorrow. Read about these and many other options below.
Sponsor a Child
Below are four different ways that you can sponsor a child.
Tutoring and Mentoring
The Tutoring and Mentoring Program connects students individually with a tutor for 75 minutes weekly, granting them access to positive adults in high school, college, government, faith-based and corporate settings. This unique relationship-based approach allows students and mentors to develop bonds, one-on-one, over the course of the school year and exposes children to career choices and neighborhood resources.
Your Gift of:
- $20 provides a student with one week of tutoring and mentoring.
- $80 provides a student with one month of tutoring and mentoring.
- $640 provides a student with a full year of tutoring and mentoring.
Arts and Enrichment
The Arts and Enrichment Program allows students to explore their personal strengths, interests and goals through a variety of classes including art, cooking, martial arts, dance and more! These experiences provide life skills that build self esteem, enhance problem solving and communication skills, while contributing to increased school performance.
Your Gift of:
- $20 provides a student with one week of arts and enrichment.
- $80 provides a student with one month of arts and enrichment.
- $400 provides a student with a full year of arts and enrichment.
Summer Programs
The Summer Program ties together academic and enrichment activities in an inspiring context for learning, recreation and positive socialization. It exposes children to information, people, places and situations that they are unlikely to experience in their everyday lives.
Your Gift of:
- $30 provides a student with one day of summer program.
- $150 provides a student with one week of summer program.
- $600 provides a student with a full summer program experience.
Wherever it’s needed most
