Harford Foundation Summer Program

The Hartford Foundation is offering a 2025 Summer Programs grant, a competitive funding opportunity to support summer activities for Hartford youth and people with disabilities across its 29-town service region. Organizations can request up to $50,000 for projects specifically focused on providing inclusive and enriching summer programming during 2025. In total, the Foundation plans to distribute up to $750,000 across all selected grantees. Applications are due by Monday, January 13, 2025, at 11:59 p.m., with grant awards to be announced in April 2025. Prospective applicants are encouraged to review the Foundation’s Request for Proposals (RFP) document, which outlines detailed eligibility requirements and guidelines. This document is essential for understanding the specific expectations of the grant and ensuring proposals align with the Foundation’s goals. The Hartford Foundation staff will evaluate applications using a rubric designed to assess key aspects of each proposal, allowing for a consistent and objective review process. The rubric is available for applicants to review, providing insight into the criteria on which applications will be scored. Organizations interested in applying are advised to ensure their proposals are thorough and meet all criteria to increase their chances of receiving funding.
