Eligibility Criteria
The Fairfield County Foundation makes grants to tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organizations operating or proposing to operate programs/projects that benefit Fairfield County residents. While the Foundation would like to support all the important work that is carried out by Fairfield County’s organizations, its financial resources are limited.
The Fairfield County Foundation has a preference for proposals that:
- Come from nonprofits (501c3) that have been established for at least two years and have a track record of sustainability
- Address needs that are not met fully by existing organizational or community resources
- Provide for more efficient use of community resources, promote coordination, cooperation and sharing among organizations, and reduce the duplication of services in the community
- Test or demonstrate new approaches and techniques for solving important community problems
- Make a clear difference in the quality of life for a substantial number of people in Fairfield County
- Propose to generate matching funds, thus leveraging additional support
- Include a thoughtful, reasonable plan for obtaining continuing financial support once Foundation grant funds are expended
