Details:
The Hartford Foundation welcomes requests of up to $50,000 for activities implemented during the summer of 2024 and expects to award up to $750,000 in total across all grantees.
Grants will be considered for programs that can contribute to one or more of the Hartford Foundation’s goals as outlined above. Applicants should demonstrate cultural humility. Preference will be given to organizations that are Black or Latine led.
The Hartford Foundation’s primary goals in supporting summer programming are to:
- provide children and youth in Hartford with an engaging and nurturing place to go during the traditional workday in support of working families while school is out of session
- provide people of all ages with disabilities across the region with an enriching summer experience
- provide Hartford youth with career exposure through counselor-in-training (CIT) programs.
Eligible Types of Program
- Eligible types of programs include summer camperships, enrichment opportunities (programs that host campers from other organizations rather than hosting their own campers), or counselor-in-training (CIT) programs.
- Programs eligible for funding consideration will be hosted during traditional workday hours to support working families and will demonstrate program accessibility through providing options for reduced-fee or free summer programming as well as transportation where appropriate (e.g., when the program site is not located in the community to be served).
Eligibility Criteria
- Non-501c3 community-based groups may apply using a fiscal sponsor. Applicants must also have at least one summer’s experience running a summer program or the equivalent of at least one year’s experience working with children in Hartford or with people (of any age) with a disability.
- Population of Focus: Programming must serve either Hartford youth or people of all ages with disabilities in the 29-town region.
