Grants for Nonprofits in Connecticut
Connecticut agencies post their own solicitations. The Office of Policy and Management keeps a page of requests for proposals and applications and points applicants to the CTsource Bid Board for the documents, and the State Department of Education posts its grant competitions separately. GrantCue reads both, along with Connecticut Humanities.
OPM's page carries vendor contracts as well as grant notices, so it pays to confirm that a listing is a grant before preparing an application. The Office of the Arts, part of the Department of Economic and Community Development, runs its arts grants through its own portal, and Connecticut's community foundations hold separate grant cycles.
