The Hartford Foundation for Public Giving has awarded more than $33,000 to the American School for the Deaf to support summer programs.
One grant is for the Summer Education Enrichment and Employment Program, which provides intensive reading, language and math instruction to approximately 100 deaf and hard of hearing children and youth, ages 5-21, who live in Greater Hartford. These students have been identified as being at high risk for academic regression during the summer.
Grants from the Howard Hunt Garmany Fund and the Samuel Roskin Trust at the Hartford Foundation are for the residential summer camp, Isola Bella, located on an island in scenic Salisbury. A significant amount of those funds will support a new Leadership and Literacy pilot program.
Many of the campers are economically disadvantaged and have additional challenges. Isola Bella offers a wide variety of safe and exciting recreational activities that are designed to provide campers with the opportunity for summer fun and personal growth in a stimulating, specialized environment. The Hartford Foundation has supported ASD summer programs since the 1990s.
This summer the Hartford Foundation is provided $771,000 in grants to 73 programs-47 camps, 11 tutorials and 15 counselor-in-training programs-run by 47 agencies in Greater Hartford. The Foundation has invested in summer programs since the mid-1930s.
