Prominent Greater Hartford Civic Group Garners Funds To Help Women

WEST HARTFORD/HARTFORD, CT — A prominent civic group serving the greater Hartford area recently received some funds from a national nonprofit.

The American Land Title Association (ALTA) Good Deeds Foundation, a registered 501(c)(3) charitable organization founded by ALTA, the national trade association of the title insurance industry, recently announced they have awarded $6,000 to the Junior League of Hartford.

Though serving the greater Hartford area, the Junior League is actually located on 102 LaSalle Road, West Hartford.

The Junior League of Hartford is one of 18 nonprofit organizations across the United States that received a grant this month from the ALTA Good Deeds Foundation.

“In just a few years, the ALTA Good Deeds Foundation has transformed the generosity of title professionals into tangible community impact, awarding more than $1.2 million to 211 nonprofit organizations across the country,” said foundation board chair Mary O’Donnell, president and chief executive officer of Westcor Land Title Insurance Co. and past president of ALTA. “These grants empower local organizations to continue their critical work, strengthening neighborhoods and supporting those in need.”

ALTA Senior Director of Professional Development Deirdre Green nominated the Junior League of Hartford to receive the grant.

The grant was specifically given in support of the organization’s 16th Designer Show House.

Focusing on critical needs of women and families in the local community, the nonprofit currently supports organizations that provide basic health supplies, including diapers, period supplies, and incontinence products, to those in need throughout Connecticut.

In addition, the organization provides furniture to those who were previously homeless and now are transitioning into permanent housing.

As the Junior League of Hartford’s signature fundraising event, the Designer Show House will fund the community programs and projects over the next 3 years.

“We are honored to receive the ALTA Good Deeds Foundation grant in support of our 16th Designer Show House,” said Amie Lugo, president of the Junior League of Hartford. “This generous funding helps us continue our mission of developing women leaders and making a meaningful impact in our community. We are grateful for this support as we bring together real estate, design, philanthropy, and service to create lasting change.”
