About the Windsor Locks Greater Together Community Fund

The purpose of the Greater Together Community Funds is to:

  • support the community in taking ownership around the needs in their towns

  • anchor the Hartford Foundation in each town.

The Windsor Locks Greater Together Community Fund (WLGTCF) provides grants to 501(c)3 organizations here in Windsor Locks.
