As the Urban League of Greater Hartford (Hartford, CT) continues to rebound from a financial downturn five years ago, the organization has received a boost from one of its biggest supporters.

The Hartford Foundation for Public Giving has awarded the urban league a $600,000, two-year, flexible funding grant with no direct programming requirements. The grant is among the largest the organization, which turned 60 this year, has ever received.
