As a Fairfield County nonprofit, you are an essential partner in our mission to build and sustain a vital and prosperous community where all have the opportunity to participate and thrive.
Grantmaking priority areas
The Community Foundation has adopted Results Based AccountabilityTM as a framework for articulating and measuring the changes we hope to see for our county.
We award competitive grants to local nonprofits that are addressing our five result areas in Fairfield County:
- All Fairfield County youth thrive by age 25
- All Fairfield County women and girls are economically secure, healthy and safe
- All Fairfield County households are economically secure
- Arts for everyone in Fairfield County
- Fairfield County benefits from an effective nonprofit sector
For general information regarding Results Based AccountabilityTM, visit the Implementation Guide website.
