Corporate Support

Riverfront Recapture offers unique partnership opportunities that deliver extraordinary value like no other!

As a distinctive regional asset drawing visitors from around the world to our free cultural, athletic, sporting and festival events, we play a key role in the ongoing Hartford renaissance by spurring downtown development on both banks of the Connecticut River while reuniting this prized natural resource with the community that surrounds it.

“Riverfront Recapture has become a stand-out economic organization.” - Hartford Business Journal

Double the Impact of your Donation!

Now it’s easier than ever to increase your support for the Riverfront!

The Capital City Economic Development Authority and the Department of Economic and Community Development will match every private dollar contributed for riverwalk construction with one dollar in State funds. The matching funds will target building the riverwalk between downtown and Charter Oak Landing and our new Colt Gateway.

Supporting Riverfront Recapture is a great way to enhance the community you serve. Our efforts improve the quality of life in our area, helping to recruit and retain the professional talent pool your company needs while serving the community at large with our youth enrichment programs and generating substantial economic impact for the region.
