Deadline: 9-Sep-22
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, low-income residents, and/or residents experiencing unique housing barriers (such as returning citizens).
Funding Information
In this second round, 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 2023 legislative session.
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.
