New Online Grants Portal

At the beginning of 2023, Connecticut Community Foundation transitioned to a new grants portal (GOapply). We hope this new technology will improve the experience of nonprofit partners like you–making it easier for you to find grant opportunities and submit applications. The new grants portal, GOapply, has a fresh look and is more customizable and flexible so our team can better respond to nonprofit feedback and community needs.

If you have not yet already registered a GOapply account in 2023, you must do so now to apply for grant funding. Registration requires approval and may take up to two business days. Please register with ample time to prepare and submit your application.

The following resources provide additional details and instructions to help you register and get started in the new portal.

Grant Applications and Deadlines

See below for the schedule of funding opportunities. To start an application, click on the “apply” link, which will bring you to the Foundation’s new online grant portal.

Additional details about each grant area are available online by clicking through on the title. Most grant areas will use our General Grant Application and request that the grant area be specified during the application process.
