The Hartford Foundation for Public Giving has established a $100,000 Greater Together Community Fund for the Town of East Hartford.

The purpose of the Greater Together Community Funds is to:

  • support the community in taking ownership around the needs in their towns
  • encourage broad and inclusive civic engagement and
  • anchor the Hartford Foundation in each town.

Your town has formed an advisory committee to manage a participatory process to identify your town's needs and allocate community funds.

Open Call for Grant Applications

The East Hartford Greater Together Community Fund is now accepting applications for projects that will benefit the residents of East Hartford.

Project proposals should demonstrate the opportunity for all our residents to benefit without discrimination based on race, religion, or any other protected class.  Projects do not necessarily need to benefit every town resident if the proposal can demonstrate why it addresses a need for a portion of the towns population and does not discriminate among residents who share that need.

Proposals should be completed in full at the time of submission and must include the budget template to be considered. 

Download the Request for Proposals to learn more. 

The application and budget template are available for download, or may be completed online via Google form.

Please send all completed applications to ehcommunityfund@gmail.com no later than July 22, 2022, at 5:00 PM.
