Description
The Connecticut Health and Educational Facilities Authority (CHEFA) offers two annual grant programs designed to strengthen and enrich Connecticut’s communities. The Nonprofit Grant Program funds organizations delivering services in out-of-school time for K-8 students, museums and historical sites, parenting supports, family-strengthening services, and workforce stabilization in long-term care or senior living. The John M. Biancamano Client Grant Program is for current borrowers or obligors of CHEFA bond issuances or loans. Both programs focus on supporting a broad range of educational, cultural, and health-related needs to enhance community well-being.
