Town: East Windsor
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 09/18/2023
Size of the Grant: $5,000
Details:
The Hartford Foundation for Public Giving has established a $100,000 Greater Together Community Fund for the Town of East Windsor.
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.
Funding Information
Requests should not exceed $5,000.
Eligibility Criteria
- Any nonprofit registered as a 501c3 organization that serves the residents of East Windsor is eligible to apply. Groups of town residents may prepare an application in partnership with a registered nonprofit that has agreed to serve as a fiscal agent for the proposed project. Nonprofits do not need to be based in East Windsor. The Town of East Windsor may also serve as a fiscal agent for applicants. Government and municipal entities may also prepare an application for grant money to meet a need in town.
- Individuals and for-profit businesses are not eligible to apply. Civic organizations that do not have a 501c3 IRS designation are not eligible to apply.
- Applicants are asked to:
- Describe why this project is needed.
- Describe the expected benefit, both who will benefit and for how long.
- Describe why the applicant is well suited to implement this project.
- Explain what the project will cost. [A budget template is provided with the application.]
Proposal Requirements
A grant from the East Windsor Community Fund must benefit residents of East Windsor. Project proposals must demonstrate the opportunity for all town 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 and how it addresses a need for a portion of the town’s population and does not discriminate among residents who share that need.
Criteria for Consideration
- The number of town residents to be impacted by the project
- The sustainability of the project (how long will the project benefit/impact town residents?)
- Likelihood of success. Does the nonprofit or the individuals involved have a good plan for how to implement the project? Do they have experience or knowledge that makes success likely?
- Does the cost seem reasonable for the expected impact or benefit? 2023 Grant requests cannot exceed the maximum amount of $5,000 per project nor can they be for less than $250.
