Application Deadline Approaching for Community Chest of New Britain and Berlin Grants

New Britain, Conn., March 7, 2016 – Non-profit organizations and programs serving Berlin and New Britain have little more than one month to submit applications for grant funding from the Community Chest of New Britain and Berlin (CCNBB). The application deadline is April 15.

Last year the Community Chest awarded more than $225,000 in grants to 15 different agencies and programs. CCNBB supports programs in the health and human service area and will consider requests for program grants, general operating support and seed grants for new programs.

A local and independent board of directors identifies and evaluates applications with respect to available funding and the potential benefit of the project to the New Britain and Berlin communities. Awards are made twice per year.

Known as the Community Chest since its founding in 1919 and more recently as the United Way of New Britain and Berlin, today’s Community Chest of New Britain and Berlin is a supporting organization of the Community Foundation of Greater New Britain.

Established in 1941, the Community Foundation of Greater New Britain is “Where Good Begins” in Berlin, New Britain, Plainville and Southington.
