Suffield Community Fund - Advisory Committee Application
The Suffield Community Fund has been established to support residents of Suffield to take ownership around the needs in our town and to encourage broad and inclusive civic engagement. The Hartford Foundation has established the fund with an initial investment of $100,000 with $50,000 to spend and $50,000 to remain in endowment.  The advisory committee will manage the fund and should be inclusive and reflective of all Suffield residents.

Participants in the advisory committee are open to all Suffield residents aged 14 and older, with the exception of elected officials. Previous experience in community organizations or in grant-making is not needed.

Schedule and Time Commitment
The Advisory committee will launch its work by fall 2020. Advisory committee members will be expected to make at least a one year commitment. The maximum commitment will be six years. The regular time commitment, schedule and ways of operating will be determined by the Advisory Committee once formed but will probably be at least 1-2 hours per month. Given the inclusive nature of this effort, accommodations will be made to support the advisory committee in their work that includes all for instance transportation assistance, conference calls, and other accommodation. Social distancing can be accommodated as needed with conference calls, on-line sharing etc.

Advisory committee responsibilities
1. Decide on the committee's operating procedures
2. Develop a process to receive and evaluate applications to the fund
3. Make funding decisions
