The Hartford Foundation for Public Giving is pleased to announce a competitive grant opportunity focused on supporting policy and advocacy activities (such as administrative advocacy, state legislative advocacy and municipal advocacy) aimed at preventing/addressing homelessness and creating pathways to more accessible, affordable, stable and higher quality housing for residents of color, lowincome residents, and/or residents experiencing unique housing barriers (such as returning citizens).
Donor Name: Hartford Foundation for Public Giving
State: Connecticut
City: Hartford
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline (mm/dd/yyyy): 09/09/2022
Grant Size: up to $25,000
Details:
Through its strategic plan focused on reducing racial, geographic, and income disparities, the Hartford Foundation seeks to increase the numbers of current Hartford residents living in higher opportunity neighborhoods. The Foundation believes this must be achieved both by increasing the opportunity level of Hartford neighborhoods through increased investment, and by increasing the agency of Hartford residents to choose to move to other higher opportunity areas throughout the Greater Hartford region.
Funding Information
The Foundation welcomes requests of up to $25,000 for activities to be implemented over the course of the next year or sooner, particularly activities focused on the next legislative session in Winter/Spring 2023.
Eligibility Criteria
Nonprofits with a 501c3 designation engaged in eligible activities that are located in or provide significant services in the Greater Hartford region are eligible to apply. Community groups, including faith-based groups that do not have a 501c3 tax status, are encouraged to apply through a fiscal agent. Nonprofits that already receive multi-year core support through the Hartford Foundation may not be as competitive within this grant opportunity, unless the request is on behalf of, or in support of, a coalition or other group of residents/stakeholders engaged in policy/advocacy work (vs. a policy agenda identified and moved by the organization alone). Note that applicants that received a grant for policy/advocacy activities during the 2022 legislative session must have submitted a final report to be eligible for another award.
