2019 Grants & Initiatives

Through December 2019 the Community Foundation of Greater New Britain has awarded $1,614,109.24 in grants and scholarships. Thank you for your support!

The Catalyst Program

Catalyst is a “giving circle” of local citizens who seek to learn about community issues in Berlin, New Britain, Plainville and Southington. Anyone can become a part of this group by making a contribution of $250 to the Catalyst Fund and completing a membership form. “Discovery” memberships are available to first-time members (and their families) for a gift of $50 for the first year, and a “Business” membership offers local businesses the opportunity to engage their employees in local philanthropy. Members gather three times per year to learn about a member-chosen issue facing their community, and to consider funding requests from charitable organizations addressing the issue. The year concludes with a grant of up to $12,500.

  • $12,500 to Jordan Porco Foundation for suicide prevention among children and young adults by 1) bringing the 4 What’s Next program to an estimated 300 middle and high school aged youth; 2) providing QPR (Question, Persuade, Respond) training to 120 adults and 3) holding a Fresh Check day at CCSU.

Community Initiatives

The CFGNB is proactive with a portion of its grant making in order to seek out, create and support projects and initiatives that focus on the broader community as well as the non-profits that serve the community. By being strategic and investing resources in this manner, the foundation fulfills its community leadership goal of defining challenges and investing in solutions.

  • $7,500 to purchase between 5,000 reusable bags for distribution to food pantries and community service departments as these entities are having a difficult time as an unintended consequence of the new bag ban since they have no reusable bags for their clients and can no longer use plastic.

Capacity Building Initiative

The Foundation’s Capacity Building Initiative supports the non-profit organizations in our service area which in turn, strengthens our communities. The Initiative has several components, one of which offers hands-on workshops and training for local organizations. Topics covered by the workshops include strategic planning, fundraising, marketing, board development and more. An additional component of workshop is eligibility for a mini-grant of up to $2,000 to implement some aspect of something they learned or gained from the series that will improve organization capacity. Mini-grants approved to date are listed below:

  • $2,000 to Art League of New Britain for a board retreat that will explore organizational capacity for expanded programming and expansion of their physical space.
  • $2,000 to Bread for Life for a board self-assessment and retreat to clarify expectations and to create a board development plan that strengthens governance.

We believe that preparing the children of Berlin, New Britain, Plainville and Southington for success in school and in life by enhancing their early childhood development education experience is fundamental to any meaningful expression of the Foundation’s mission.
