Vernon Greater Together Community Fund Advisory Committee Application
In 2019, the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving established an initial $100,000 community fund for each of the 29 towns in the Foundation's geographic region, which includes Vernon. The funds are earmarked to support residents in taking ownership of their town's needs, to encourage broad and inclusive civic engagement. The established funds must be managed by an advisory committee for the Vernon Greater Together Community Fund that is diverse and representative of all its residents. The advisory committee, utilizing an inclusive grant-making process, will identify a community need(s) that will be most beneficial or have the greatest impact on town residents. In 2021, the Vernon Greater Together Community Fund made inaugural grants to seven organizations totaling $18,500.

If you are interested in becoming an advisory committee member, kindly fill out the application below. Please note that you must be a Vernon resident, age 14 or older, and not be an elected official to apply.

Applications will be accepted until August 16th, 2022.
