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

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 will form an advisory committee that is inclusive and reflective of all town residents, to manage a participatory process to identify your town's needs and allocate community funds.
