The Hartford Foundation for Public Giving has created a $1 million grant program to assist qualifying nonprofits affected by unexpected losses in state aid.
The foundation is working with area nonprofits to determine the impact of potential cutbacks and how the foundation can assist. Additionally, for long-term effectiveness, the foundation is providing capacity building and sustaining strategies to help nonprofits address the changing funding environment in a sustainable way.
The foundation said in announcing the emergency grant, which comes from its general grant making budget, that the state's estimated deficit of nearly $3 billion over the next two years and serious local deficits drove the need to assess the impact on the 29 communities it serves.
All applicants will go through the same process the foundation uses for its regular grants but those agencies that have been impacted by unexpected losses – particularly in areas of critical human needs can qualify for these funds.
For information on whether your nonprofit qualifies for transitional support during this fiscal crisis, or to participate in the capacity building supports please contact Erika Frank: 860.548.1888 ext. 1057 or EFrank@hfpg.org.
