Grants Process at Valley Community Foundation Sees Big Growth in New Applicants
Over 50 percent of applicants through the Valley Community Foundation’s Community Grants Program this year had not previously applied
Over 50 percent of applicants through the Valley Community Foundation’s (VCF) Community Grants Program this year had not previously applied. Most of the requests came from grassroots groups focused on feeding the hungry and supporting the most vulnerable populations. The VCF Community Grants Program annually awards between $250 and $2,500 to community groups and organizations serving the towns of Ansonia, Derby, Oxford, Seymour and Shelton to support civic and community engagement efforts.
In other Valley news, VCF is a lead partner in the next Valley Community Index (which kicked off at a virtual meeting in March 2022), and it has set its Annual Reception date for May 17. Learn more at valleyfoundation.org
