Foundations in Connecticut That Accept Grant Applications

Every one of these 141 foundations is based in Connecticut, gave to at least ten organizations we could identify, filed a return covering 2023 or later, and did not tell the IRS it funds only organizations it picks itself. Roughly three in four private foundations do tell the IRS exactly that; those are not listed here.

Ordered by number of organizations funded. A foundation supporting sixty groups is a far more realistic prospect than one writing two very large cheques, which is why this is not ranked by dollars.

New Connecticut foundations, as they file

The IRS publishes returns continuously. We read them and email you the ones that match your cause. Free.

No spam, unsubscribe in one click. We never sell or share your address.

Community foundations, United Ways and other grantmaking charities file a different form and are listed separately: grantmaking charities in Connecticut.
