HIU Invited to Participate in Endow Hartford 21

Help Hartford International Grow Its Legacy

We are thrilled to announce that Hartford International University (HIU) has been invited to participate in Endow Hartford 21 (EH21), a prestigious initiative that helps local nonprofits build lasting endowment funds. Being included in this program is a tremendous honor and an important step in securing HIU’s financial future.

Why Your Gift Matters

Endow Hartford 21 strengthens the long-term financial health of nonprofits across Greater Hartford. For HIU, it means creating a permanent fund that will support students, advance interfaith leadership, and sustain our programs for generations to come.

Your support helps educate future interfaith leaders and expands access to scholarships for students from around the world.

Ways You Can Make an Impact

1. Support the Annual Fund – Vital for Today

If you have not yet given, your gift to the HIU Annual Fund supports current programs, student scholarships, and immediate needs. Our fiscal year ends June 30, so your timely support is especially important.

2. Grow Our Endowment – For the Future

If you have already given, you can make an even greater impact by helping to build HIU’s EH21 Endowment Fund by making your gift through the 2026 Travelers Championship Birdies for Charity program.

• The Zachs Family Foundation will establish the fund with a gift of $10,000
• Gifts made through Birdies for Charity are matched by Webster Bank at 15 percent, including the Zachs gift and all additional contributions
• This match applies to gifts up to $75,000 per organization
• Every dollar you give goes further automatically through this match
• Minimum gift is $10, and every gift helps us reach our goal
• Donations must be received by June 28 to qualify

Bonus Opportunity

Help us raise $20,000 beyond the initial $10,000 gift to unlock an additional $1,000 from the Zachs Family Foundation. This bonus will also be matched at 15 percent.

If we reach this goal, HIU could receive up to $35,650 for our endowment.

Your Support Matters

• Gifts to the Annual Fund keep HIU thriving this year
• Additional gifts through Birdies for Charity help secure our long-term future
