Glastonbury Greater Together Community Fund: Impact Grants

Glastonbury Greater Together Community Fund

In celebration of the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving's Centennial in 2025 and the 5th anniversary of the Greater Together Community Fund, we are pleased to announce an expanded grantmaking capacity this year. We invite applications for funding that will directly benefit Glastonbury, CT.

We seek proposals for projects aimed at improving or enhancing the quality of life in Glastonbury or addressing critical community needs. This funding supports initiatives that may include:

• Improving access to existing programs (especially for underserved populations)
• Innovative new initiatives or enhancements to current programs
• Efforts to meet basic human needs (e.g., food, shelter), healthcare, human services, mental health services, senior services, education, and recreation/land conservation

We encourage partnerships and collaborative efforts for greater community impact. All proposed projects must benefit the residents of Glastonbury, CT.

Impact Grants

We are introducing a new Impact Award of up to $15,000 in honor of the Hartford Foundation’s Centennial and the 5th anniversary of the Greater Together Community Fund.  Grant award amounts will vary based on the scope and focus of the proposal.

The Impact Grant is designed to support programs that can create significant, measurable change in the community. These grants are available for both new and existing initiatives, providing the necessary resources to scale or improve efforts addressing critical community needs. The goal is to drive long-term, positive transformation in Glastonbury.

Applications for Impact Grants must demonstrate clear potential for impact on town residents and include a plan for sustainability.
