Grant Guidelines

The Foundation has potential funding opportunities in the areas of Mental Health, Access to Services and Oral Health. In addition there is a small amount of funds set aside for Opportunity grants. Please review the specific guidelines for each of these areas by clicking on the appropriate funding area above.

In general, the Foundation for Community Health has a two step process for all requests for funding. First the applicant is asked to submit a Letter of Intent to request funding. Letters of Intent will be evaluated on:

  • Clarity of problem statement;
  • Relevance of the request to FCH’s priorities and geographic area;
  • Operational soundness of the approach outlined;
  • Feasibility of sustainability after funding;
  • Appropriate balance between budget requested and project being funded

If accepted, the Foundation will notify the applicant and invite them to submit a full proposal.

For your convenience we have provided downloadable, fill-in PDF forms*. Please download the appropriate form (each form can be downloaded individually, or for the entire package, select Complete Set of Proposal Forms) and save it to your hard drive. If you would like to work with the forms in Microsoft Word™ they are available for download here.

Once your forms are complete, email them to info@fchealth.org or mail a hard copy to:

Foundation for Community Health
106B Upper Main Street
Sharon, CT 06069
