The Seherr-Thoss Foundation Grant primarily supports projects in Litchfield, Connecticut, aligning with the founders' dedication to serving their community. The grants fund large capital improvement projects for local organizations and smaller projects critical for community service, like medical and rescue equipment for volunteer services. Although the focus is on Litchfield, grants can extend to organizations outside the town if their work benefits Litchfield residents.
