On September 19, LISC Connecticut is marking 40 years of serving Connecticut communities with an anniversary gala highlighting the organization’s commitment to equitable community development.
The Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) Connecticut today announced it is receiving a $300,000 investment from JPMorgan Chase to support the launch of a capacity building program for seven Black, Indigenous, and people of color-led (BIPOC) community development corporations (CDCs) and community development organizations in Bridgeport, Hartford, New Haven and Waterbury.
On September 20, LISC Connecticut and Wells Fargo cohosted an Appreciation Event at the Chrysalis Center in Hartford.
