The Hartford Foundation for Public Giving is offering a competitive grant opportunity aimed at increasing access to emergency services and immediate assistance for vulnerable residents in Greater Hartford. This initiative aligns with the Foundation's broader mission to support nonprofits in addressing the basic human needs of the community. The grant seeks to fund projects and services that provide critical immediate aid to those in need. The target beneficiaries of this grant are vulnerable residents in Greater Hartford who require emergency services and immediate assistance for basic human needs. The impact goal is to enhance the availability and accessibility of essential support, ensuring that individuals and families facing crises can receive timely help. The grant focuses on direct provision of emergency services and assistance. The priorities and focuses of this grant include, but are not limited to, food or food assistance, emergency clothing, personal care items, emergency financial aid (such as rent, mortgage, utility, or childcare assistance), emergency medical aid (including dental, medical, mental health, and prescription expenses), aftercare programs for victims of domestic violence, and immediate or informal case management services. The Foundation welcomes requests for individual projects ($1,000-$15,000) and collaborative projects (up to $20,000) for a one-year period. Expected outcomes include improved access to vital resources for vulnerable populations, a reduction in immediate hardships faced by residents, and strengthened community support systems. Measurable results could include the number of individuals served, the types and quantities of aid provided, and the specific needs addressed. The Foundation's strategic priorities are implicitly aligned with a theory of change that by directly supporting emergency services and basic needs, they can alleviate immediate suffering and contribute to the overall well-being and stability of Greater Hartford's most vulnerable residents.
