Open Call for Grant Applications
The Windsor Greater Together Community Fund is now accepting applications for projects that will benefit the residents of Windsor.
Project proposals should demonstrate the opportunity for all our 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.
Proposals should be completed in full at the time of submission and must include the budget template to be considered.
Download the Request for Proposals (RFP) to learn more.
The application and budget template are available for download, or may be completed online via Google form.
