Grant Opportunities

Requests for Proposals: 2024 calendar

We periodically issue a call for proposals from organizations serving Greater Hartford to contribute to advancing our strategic priorities in specific ways.

Small Nonprofit Grants

Now Open

The Foundation’s Nonprofit Support Program offers general operating support grants designed for small or all volunteer organizations with annual revenues under $300,000 that have an established record of service to their communities and that meet the eligibility criteria of the Foundation.

Small, emergent, and/or all-volunteer nonprofit organizations often express unique needs as they develop their infrastructure or programs. The Nonprofit Suppot Program has intentionally developed offerings to small nonprofits in Greater Hartford with annual revenues under $300,000 that consider where an organization is in their development – supports and offerings are contextual, flexible, and allows leaders and teams to learn and growin their roles.

This operating support opportunity offers up to $15,000 over a two-year period to support an organization’s stability and institutional strengthening, as outlined in its organizational strategic plans and goals. Organizations must have an established record of service to their communities and meet eligibility criteria of the Foundation. While funding can be used at the organization’s discretion, it is highly encouraged that organizations strategically allocate funding towards operational/organizational strengthening needs.
