FARMINGTON, CT — The Farmington Community Fund has opened its 2026 grant cycle, offering $28,600 to support local projects aimed at improving the community.
Grants ranging from $500 to $5,000 are available to nonprofit organizations, municipal departments, and resident-led groups working with a fiscal sponsor.
Applications are due Sept. 28.
This year's funding priorities include programs supporting seniors; youth and early education; arts and culture; and innovative approaches to critical community needs.
The fund is seeking projects that directly benefit Farmington residents and strengthen the town's well-being, vibrancy, and resilience.
Proposed projects should address a local need, engage or benefit residents, and be feasible within a one-year grant period.
The Farmington Community Fund is part of the Community Funds program at the Greater Hartford Gives Foundation.
Local volunteer residents serve on a committee that reviews applications and recommends grants based on community needs and opportunities.
Organizations of varying sizes are encouraged to apply, as are resident groups that partner with a fiscal sponsor.
