2010 GRANT awards

2010 Grant Awards

The Fund for Greater Hartford committed over $700,000 to the Greater Hartford community in 2010. The vast majority of grants were in our four major priority areas. We gave out $120,000 in the Arts, with half going to the Greater Hartford Arts Council and the other half going to community groups. We committed $101,906 in Community Development grants in Hartford, New Britain, and Middletown.

Education grants totaled $165,840, with most going for educational enhancements, and our largest grant going to support the Achievement First charter school in Hartford. As always, the largest and most inclusive priority area was Health & Social Services. We committed $243,376 in this area, with grants going to a wide range of non-profits doing exceptional work in their communities.

We continued to commit money to summer programs ($27,500 in 2010) that reach a large number of children for the majority of the summer. Finally, we renewed our support for Hispanic Scholarship Program, which provides money to three secondary schools to help underwrite the tuition for Latino/a students from Hartford.
