Overview

The grant program provided by the NewAlliance Foundation focuses on supporting organizations within four key areas: the arts, community development, health & human services, and youth & education. It seeks to inspire dreams and enrich lives through the arts, aid in community development for economic self-sufficiency and neighborhood stabilization, provide basic needs and early intervention in health & human services, and expand educational opportunities to prepare youth for future success. The Foundation offers general operating support to organizations addressing these priorities and that serve their local area, are effective in responding to community needs, are financially stable, and are led strongly. Additionally, they consider program support for innovative and unique programs without duplication, sponsorship for fundraising events directly related to the organization's mission, and capital campaign requests for tangible projects, ensuring a broad impact across their service area.
