PROFILE: Established in 1933, the Swindells Charitable Foundation is a private foundation in Connecticut. The foundation aims to “support and promote quality health and human services programming for underserved children and adults.” Managed by Bank of America’s Connecticut office, grantmaking only supports health and human services.
In addition to health and human services grants to nonprofits, this funder also provides grants to public charitable hospitals. It prioritizes grants to organizations that provide services to children and the elderly who are sick and economically disadvantaged. It also often gives to groups that provide basic human needs services. It will consider offering program support and general operating support. However, the foundation does not consider grant requests for capital projects. Past local grantees include the Plainville Community Food Pantry, Malta House of Care, HandsOn Hartford, and the Network Against Domestic Abuse of North Central Connecticut.
Grants range between $1,000 and $10,000. Learn more about this funder’s local giving by examining its recent tax records. Grantmaking only focuses on Connecticut, including various cities and towns all over the state. Grants are for one-year periods only, and the foundation does not provide grants to the same organization more than three consecutive years.
This foundation accepts unsolicited grant applications from nonprofits. The annual application deadline is August 1 and applicants can expect to hear back with a funding decision by letter within about two to three months after this date. Grantseekers must use the Bank of America online system to apply for a grant. Direct general questions to the staff at ct.grantmaking@ustrust.com or 860-244-4870.
