The Hartford Foundation welcomes requests of up to $50,000 for activities implemented during the summer of 2023 and expects to award up to $850,000 in total across all grantees.
The Foundation’s goals in supporting summer programming are to 1) provide children in Hartford, as well as people of all ages with disabilities across the region, a place to go during the traditional workday in support of working families while school is out of session, and 2) provide Hartford youth with career exposure through counselor-in-training (CIT) programs.
Grants will be considered for programs that can contribute to one or both of the Foundation’s goals as outlined above. Applicants should demonstrate cultural humility. Preference will be given to organizations that are Black or Latinx led.
Please review the Request for Proposals to learn more about eligibility requirements.
Foundation staff will utilize a rubric to aid in the review and evaluation of submitted applications. To view the rubric, please click here.
On Thursday, December 1, an optional information session was held for those interested to learn more about this opportunity; check back here to view the recording. Q&A from the session has been shared in a document, here.
