The Suffield Community Fund at the Greater Hartford Gives Foundation (formerly Hartford Foundation for Public Giving) is accepting applications from community members interested in serving on its volunteer committee. The Suffield Community Fund Committee is a group of volunteer residents who help identify local needs, shape grant priorities, and review proposals for projects that enhance quality of life in Suffield. The committee makes grant recommendations to the Greater Hartford Gives Foundation. In 2025, the Suffield Community Fund awarded more than $33,500 to local nonprofit organizations recommended for funding by the committee. Since launching Community Funds in 2019 in each of the 29 towns it serves, including Suffield, Greater Hartford Gives has supported more than 1,000 grants totaling more than $4 million (through the end of 2025) – funding projects that directly benefit town residents and reflect community priorities and lived experience.
