Our New Now
We are starting a social enterprise!
In 2021, YWCA Hartford Region was one of six non profits chosen by Hartford Foundation for Public Giving to participate in a Social Enterprise Accelerator.
What is a Social Enterprise?
A social Enterprise is a business which seeks to maximize profits while maximizing benefits to society. The profits are principally used to fund social programs.
Why A Social Enterprise?
