Supporting and Celebrating Diversity across the State

Strengthening Latino Communities
As a host foundation for the Connecticut Hispanics in Philanthropy (HIP) Funders' Collaborative for Strong Latino Communities, Aetna helped the group build stronger partnerships between organized philanthropy and Latino communities. Our involvement helped to attract support from other major corporations.

Focusing on Urban Issues
The Urban League of Greater Hartford looked back on 40 years of social involvement with the goal of honoring a long-time corporate partner that shared its commitment and resolve. We were pleased that they chose to honor Aetna with their very first "Founders Award," paying tribute to a relationship that began in the mid-1960s.

Bringing Diverse Exhibits to Hartford and Beyond
A $500,000 Aetna Foundation grant to The Amistad Center for Art & Culture, the largest single gift in the Center's history, marked a 20-year relationship between us and the center and is being used to support their acclaimed traveling exhibit, Double Exposure; African Americans Before and Behind the Camera.
