American Savings Foundation

This Connecticut foundation serves a 64-town region with program grants as well as capital grants. Though the site states that their "primary focus is in the city of New Britain, with a secondary focus on the city of Waterbury," it also states that their focus is on "funding programs that help those with highest need and/or at greatest risk, and where our funding can make a direct, measureable impact."

Shorthand version = worth a shot.

On the Program side, the foundation emphasizes the needs of children, youth and families. in the areas of education, human services and arts & culture (many grants fit into more than one of these categories). Capital grants focus on one-time capital expenses as well as large capital campaigns.

There are three yearly deadlines; for March consideration proposals should be submitted by January 31. For September consideration proposals should be submitted by July 31. For December consideration proposals should be submitted by October 31.
