Open Call for Grant Applications

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

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 town's 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.

Guidelines:
 

  • The minimum amount of a grant request is $250.  The maximum amount of a grant request is $5,000. Deadline to apply - March 1, 2025.
  • Upon completion of the project, a final report shall be provided.  Information about the final report (photos, write-up, invitation to grant event, etc.) will be shared when the grant is awarded.

Eligibility Criteria:
 

  • The project/program proposed must directly benefit the residents of Windsor
  • Any nonprofit registered as a 501c3 organization, the town itself, or state/federal municipalities that serve the residents of Windsor are eligible to apply.
  • Organizations must be classified as a 501c3 or have a fiscal sponsorship through a registered organization.  Our town may serve as a fiscal sponsor to an organization who is not a registered 501c3.  If you need help finding a fiscal sponsor, please contact the committee at windsor@hfpgcommunityfunds.org
  • 509a3 charities and private foundations are not eligible.
  • Grants need to be for future projects.  Money cannot be requested to refund past projects.
  • The application and budget template are available for download or may be completed online via Google form.
