Grant Recipients

Information Regarding FY23 Grant Amounts:

Endowment grant amounts are calculated solely on a formula that is set by Connecticut State Statutes. The formula is:

• Year 1 "Prior Fiscal Year":For the portion of donor contributions which is equal to $15,000 or more but does not exceed the total donor contributions for the prior fiscal year, there shall be a match of 25% of such amount, capped at $250,000. 

• Year 2 "Most Recent Fiscal Year": For the portion of the total donor contributions that exceeds the total donor contributions for the prior fiscal year, there shall be a match of 100%, capped at $1 million. 

The total amount of grants to be paid exceeded the Endowment Fund's investment earnings, therefore, grants were reduced on a pro rata basis.  We would need $21+ million in investment earnings to fully fund applicants per the formula, however, we only had $864,233. Therefore, all grants were reduced.
