Valley Needs and Opportunities Grants for Non-profit Organizations in Connecticut are being offered by The Valley Community Foundation (VCF) to support innovative programs and urgent needs of local nonprofits in Ansonia, Derby, Oxford, Seymour, and Shelton. The grants range from $250 to $10,000 and decisions are made on a rolling basis. Eligible organizations must be tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) or have a fiscal agent with the appropriate tax status. Priority is given to local nonprofits, and projects involving partnerships must have a lead organization with the necessary tax status. Funding can be used for virtual programs, capacity building needs, or technology purchases for virtual programming or staff work. Religious activities, endowment campaigns, lobbying, travel, previously incurred debts, and funding deficits are not eligible for consideration. All aspects of organizational operations must comply with applicable anti-discrimination laws. For more information and to apply, visit The Valley Community Foundation website.
