Community Project Grants
Applications due 4/15/2026
Grants are funded each year by the Nearly New Sale, the Annual Appeal, and Member donations to the Community Project Grant Fund. The NWC supports programs and projects that enhance educational, civic and cultural activities in Norwich. Applications for grants should be made before the deadline of April 15, 2026. Awards are made to organizations and individuals which are either located in Norwich or directly benefit Norwich residents. Consideration is given to the number of people benefited by the project request, and an effort is made to balance awards across educational, civic and cultural activities. Partial awards may be granted, and past awards do not ensure future awards. Click on the button below to apply for a Community Project Grant for 2026-2027.
