Suffield on the Green Continues

Most of us who live in Suffield have warm memories of one of our favorite traditions, the annual production of Suffield on the Green. The word “production” is an apt designation. The event consumes innumerable hours, immeasurable energy and a wide range of skills from a large number of volunteers in our community. Not only do residents of Suffield support the effort, but many out-of-towners come as well. The appeal of our scenic Main Street, the display of small-town activity and the draw of a number of vendors – all of these contribute to the success of the day.

Community Fund Announces Inaugural Grants

The Suffield Greater Together Community Fund was created by the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving in 2019 as part of a larger initiative for each of the 29 towns in the Foundation’s region. Each fund appointed an advisory committee to make decisions about grant funding to nonprofits that serve and benefit local residents. The Suffield Community Fund was granted $100,000 from the Hartford Foundation to support the needs of Suffield residents. Half of the funds were available for grant awards, while the other half of the funds were endowed. The Suffield Greater Together Community Fund is administered by an advisory committee of Suffield residents.
