LOIs are reviewed by the Foundation’s Coordinating Committee which includes volunteer chairs of the Foundation’s committees as well as representatives of our partner funders. If the committee approves your LOI, we will invite you to submit a full application which we will e-mail to you.

Program Officer, Josh Carey, will be happy to discuss any questions you have.

CCF Partner Funders: Connecticut Community Foundation (CCF) also works with several private partner funders to assist with administration of their grantmaking programs. Their guidelines may vary from CCF guidelines in terms of service area, priorities, restrictions, etc.  Please read the guidelines below for more information. 

If you are interested in applying to these private funders, you have two options:

  1. Submit a request directly to these funders as detailed in the guidelines below.
  2. Submit a letter of inquiry (LOI) to Connecticut Community Foundation using the form above; these letters will be shared with all partner funders through the Foundation’s Coordinating Committee. This option will enable more potential funders to consider your request.
