Holiday Grants
This
holiday season, The Community Foundation of Northwest Connecticut
will award small grants to area nonprofits that assist families of
limited financial means in northwestern Connecticut. Preference will
be given to programs that address basic human needs. To be considered
for a holiday grant, complete the application (see link below) and
return it to the Foundation by November 12, 2010. Although we strive
to assist at least one organization from each community in our
service area, the application process is competitive, which means
that not all applicants will receive an award. Applicants will be
notified by December 6 regarding application status.

Women's and Girls' Fund Grant Applications

from the Women’s & Girls’ Fund are awarded annually in early
autumn. Nonprofit organizations from our 20-town service area that
provide programs and services for women and children are eligible to
submit applications. Please visit our Web site in June for details.
Edwards Community Endowment Project Applications
The
Edwards Community Endowment Project is a matching-grants program
created to help northwest Connecticut nonprofits establish or
increase endowment funds. The project is made possible through a
grant from the Marion Wm. and Alice Edwards Fund.
