The Hartford Foundation for Public Giving has established a $100,000 Greater Together Community Fund for the Town of Granby.
The purpose of the Greater Together Community Funds (GTCF) 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.
This fund is anchored in the conviction that residents understand the challenges they face in their communities, but are often constrained by a lack of resources. This lack of resources included the need for more opportunities to meet with one another, share concerns and work together with all members of the community to develop solutions. We welcome proposals that put forward a case for how they will benefit residents of Granby around important needs and opportunities.
Announcing Call for Grant Applications
Granby’s Greater Together Community Fund Committee is pleased to announce the availability of funding for projects directly benefiting the Granby community. Project proposals must demonstrate the opportunity for all town residents to benefit without discrimination based on race, religion, or any other protected class.
Applications will be accepted from February 1st until 11:59 PM on Tuesday, April 1st, 2025. The minimum request for any proposal is $250 and the maximum request shall not exceed $25,000.
