The Fairfield County's Community Foundation is offering the Greater Bridgeport Grant: Arts in the Service of Equity, a 3-year renewable grant opportunity. This initiative stems from the foundation's belief in the power of arts and culture to amplify community voice, change narratives, promote inclusivity, and transform communities. The grant specifically focuses on arts innovation for systems change in Greater Bridgeport, honoring the legacy of the Greater Bridgeport Area Foundation, which merged with Fairfield County's Community Foundation in 2008. With a total funding pool of $1 million, this grant will support up to three collaborative projects in Greater Bridgeport. Each selected project will receive general operating support over three years, with the largest portion of funding in the first year and smaller wind-down grants in subsequent years. This flexible funding approach allows collaborating organizations to allocate resources in ways that best support their project goals and objectives, aiming to leverage the arts to accelerate and catalyze social change within the community. The grant targets Arts and Culture-focused organizations within Greater Bridgeport whose work directly benefits residents of the eligible communities: Bridgeport, Easton, Fairfield, Monroe, Stratford, and Trumbull. A strong emphasis is placed on impact for Black, Indigenous, and People of color (BiPoC) and low-to-moderate income communities. Competitive proposals must clearly articulate how their work addresses racial inequities in Fairfield County and demonstrate strong partnerships with defined roles and responsibilities. Grassroots, BiPoC-led organizations with systems-level change goals will receive preference, and organizations are encouraged to apply regardless of budget size. Expected outcomes include influencing economic, physical, and social change, with a clear, detailed connection between the project and key results areas. Proposals are required to have a clear three-year project plan/program design with an aligned budget, ensuring a strategic and measurable approach to achieving their social change objectives through artistic and cultural endeavors. This aligns with the foundation's strategic priority of fostering community transformation and addressing systemic inequities through innovative and impactful initiatives.
