Types of Grants
There are multiple funding opportunities available through the Valley Community Foundation:
Responsive new grants.
This is a competitive
grants process. These grants are generally awarded to address an
agency's capital, operating, programmatic or technical assistance
needs. Applications for funding through this process will be available
in the Spring of 2010. Please check back with us at that time or
contact Carla Sullivan at csullivan@valleyfoundation.org or call the Valley Community Foundation’s office at (203) 225-0880.
Grants through donor and committee advised funds.
Donor
advised funds enable a donor, or a committee established by the donor,
to make grant recommendations according to their interests.
Grantseekers cannot directly apply for funding from these funds.
Valley Neighborhood grants.
Applications for
this grant opportunity are considered through a request for proposal
process. Grants are awarded to groups working in the Lower
Naugatuck Valley to motivate and leverage civic engagement efforts
across the community. The deadline to submit an application through this process has passed (February 1, 2010 by 12:00 p.m).
