Frequently Asked Questions

What types of grants are available in Connecticut?
Connecticut organizations can access federal grants (open to all states), state government grants administered by Connecticut agencies, and private foundation grants from funders that serve Connecticut. Common grant areas include education, community development, health services, arts, and small business support.
How do I find Connecticut state government grants?
Start with your state's grants portal and major agencies. Most Connecticut state grants are posted on the state government website or Grants.gov for federal pass-through programs. Contact your Connecticut legislators' offices for guidance on state-specific programs, as they often know about funding that isn't widely advertised.

Check with your local Small Business Development Center (SBDC), which provides free guidance on Connecticut-specific funding opportunities and application assistance.
