Summary
This annual funding opportunity provides support to nonprofit organizations working in specific regions of the United States, with an emphasis on initiatives that enhance community well-being and expand access to meaningful services. Priority is given to programs that promote educational, cultural, and health-related outcomes while fostering inclusion and equity. Eligible applicants include registered 501(c)(3) nonprofits, community-based organizations, and in some cases, educational institutions. Businesses and individuals are not eligible to apply.
Funding amounts typically range from $5,000 to $50,000 depending on project scope and impact. Grants may be used to develop or expand programs that address pressing social needs, including services for individuals with developmental differences. A significant focus is placed on initiatives that improve opportunities for children and adults with autism, whether through education, job readiness training, therapeutic services, or community integration activities. Programs that demonstrate measurable outcomes and long-term sustainability are especially encouraged.
Applications are reviewed annually, with a single application allowed per organization each cycle. Eligible expenses may include staff support, program materials, outreach, facility enhancements, and other direct costs tied to delivering services. Proposals are evaluated based on their potential to advance quality of life, build organizational capacity, and create meaningful community impact.
This grant opportunity is designed not only to fund innovative approaches but also to strengthen organizations serving vulnerable populations. By supporting autism-related programs alongside broader community development and cultural initiatives, the funding helps ensure that individuals with unique challenges receive equitable access to opportunities, resources, and support systems. The ultimate goal is to create more inclusive communities where people of all abilities can thrive and contribute fully.
This grant may be available to individuals and organizations in Connecticut that are actively involved in Social Justice. To locate more funding opportunities in your field, visit The Grant Portal and search by interest area using the Search Grant tool.
