Description
The Fund for Greater Hartford's Letter of Intent process is the required first step for organizations seeking grant funding for initiatives that support youth success in Hartford, New Britain, or Middletown, Connecticut. Applicants must submit a concise overview of their proposed project using the Fund's online grant management system. Letters of Intent are reviewed for alignment with the Fund's priorities, and selected organizations are then invited to submit a full application. The Fund encourages collaborative, outcomes-focused proposals that address measurable improvements in youth literacy, numeracy, socio-emotional skills, summer learning loss, or chronic absenteeism. Preference is given to projects that demonstrate innovative approaches or address systemic challenges within the region.
