The Hartford Foundation for Public Giving has established the West Hartford Community Fund, currently a $100,000 fund to help empower residents to make the community a better place, encourage broad civic engagement, and anchor the fund in the community of West Hartford.

Ryan Keating flies solo in this week’s Experience We-Ha Podcast as he talks to Megan Burke, Jim Veneman, and Yukiyo Iida about how the fund works, the committee selection process, the purpose of the fund, and how it will benefit West Hartford.

You can find out more about the Fund at a presentation on March 8, from 3-4 p.m., at the Noah Webster Library, or read more HERE on We-Ha.com.
