Information Sessions for Community Foundation's Upcoming Grants

Nonprofit agencies interested in applying for a grant from The Community Foundation for Greater New Haven are encouraged to attend one of three sessions on its responsive new grants process. The process occurs once a year and is open to nonprofits that provide services in one or more of The Foundation’s 20-town region. Grants are generally distributed to address an agency’s capital, operating, programmatic or technical assistance needs. Each session will cover:

· The pre-application process, including deadlines and review
· Writing tips
· Evaluation, describing the impact of the proposed program
· Discussion of challenges caused by the economic downturn

RSVP for ONE of the following by Friday, Jan. 30, to events@cfgnh.org with your name, organization and which meeting you will be attending. Session dates and locations (choose one):

February 2, 3-4:30pm, at Derby Neck Library, 307 Hawthorne Ave.
February 5, 10-11:30 am, at New Haven Public Library, 133 Elm St.
February 6, 1-2:30pm, at Guilford Free Library, 67 Park St.
