Sustainable CT's Community Match Fund is an innovative program that provides fast, flexible funding and support for engaging your community on wide-ranging sustainability projects. Anyone in a Sustainable CT registered municipality can participate and eligible projects will receive dollar-for-dollar matching funds from Sustainable CT. Have a great idea to make your community more equitable, sustainable, and vibrant? We want to hear about it!
Help make your community more sustainable, healthy, and vibrant. Whether you’re dreaming of more green spaces, solar for public spaces, greenways for biking and walking, murals and other public art, green jobs programs, or community gardens, the Sustainable CT Community Match Fund can help make your idea a reality. We’ll work with you to develop and run a crowdfunding campaign and we’ll match every contribution you receive dollar-for-dollar.
Not a nonprofit or formal organization? No problem! This program was designed with grassroots groups in mind and the team at Sustainable CT is excited to work with anyone to help get their eligible idea off the ground. Individuals and informal groups are strongly encouraged to reach out.
Unlike with traditional funding programs, the Community Match Fund has no traditional grant application, no deadlines, no lengthy review period, and minimal reporting requirements. Projects are assessed and approved based on simple and objective eligibility criteria, irrespective of the person or group proposing the project.
We invite great ideas that provide public benefits to your community. Individual residents, nonprofits, community groups, municipalities, schools, libraries, and anyone else in Sustainable CT registered towns may propose projects and access our matching funds. Apply anytime - we review projects as they are submitted.
