Deadline: 12-Mar-21
The Hartford Foundation for Public Giving is seeking applications for its Bloomfield Greater Together Community Fund that supports the community in taking ownership around the needs of the towns and encourages broad and inclusive civic engagement.
Purpose
The purpose of the Greater Together Community Funds program 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
- Organizations that support the Bloomfield community are encouraged to apply for a grant.
- Requests can range from $500 to $10,000.
Eligibility Criteria
- Any nonprofit registered as a 501c3 organization that serves the residents of Bloomfield 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 Bloomfield. The Town of Bloomfield may also serve as a fiscal agent for applicants.
Proposal Requirements
A grant from the Bloomfield Community Fund must benefit residents of Bloomfield. 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 it addresses a need for a portion of the town’s population and does not discriminate among residents who share that need. Applicants will be asked to describe:
- Why this project is needed?
- The expected benefit: Who will benefit and for how long?
- Why the applicant is well-suited to implement this project?
- The cost of the project. [A budget template is provided with application.]
