HARTFORD, CT — The Connecticut Office of the Arts recently announced the 166 Connecticut Arts Endowment grants that were awarded to local nonprofits totaling $786,107.
The Connecticut Arts Endowment Fund (CAEF) was established by the Connecticut State Legislature to stimulate the development of private sector funding resources for Connecticut-based arts organizations and to ensure the long-term stability of these arts groups by providing funding to organizations.
Grant awards are calculated on a formula which compares the number of non-governmental contributions received by the applicant in its two most recently completed fiscal years, rather than the groups asking for a specific grant amount.
Local nonprofits who received the awards are as follows:
Brookfield
- Brookfield Craft Center, Inc. – $6,488
Danbury

- Danbury Music Centre, Inc. – $1,313
