Access our Grant Portal
Organizations that receive a grant from Greater Hartford Gives (previously the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving) will manage their grants in our Grant Portal. You’ll also be assigned a dedicated Community Impact Officer who can help guide you through the entire grant process.
If you do not know how to contact your Community Impact Officer, or are unsure who is your current Officer, you can reach out to Tara Sundie, tsundie@greaterhartfordgives.org, who can help connect you!
You can also find a link to the grant portal in the top menu of the website.
What if I received a grant from the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving?
Our name has changed, but the way we manage our grants has not. Use the Grant Portal to view or manage your open grant.
How to use our Grant Portal
Our grant portal utilizes Foundant Technology’s Grant Lifecycle Manager (GLM) software. Use the instructions and training resources below to learn how to navigate GLM and manage your grant.
Click here for instructions on how to create a GLM account, manage your dashboard, and more.
Please note that the Greater Hartford Gives custom portal will look slightly different than the portal in the tutorial video.
Completing an application in the Grant Portal
Interested in applying for a grant? Visit our Eligibility and How to Apply page to learn more about our grant application process.
Nonprofits that are invited to submit an application will be directed to the GLM Dashboard by a Greater Hartford Gives Community Impact team member. The application will be available in your Request History. Click “Edit Application” to complete your application.
No need to finish the application in one sitting—GLM gives you flexibility, allowing you to save your progress so you can return the application at a later time.
Once a grant is awarded, you can visit your Dashboard to check the status of your grant, view due dates, and submit electronic grant reports.
What browser do you recommend I use?
For the best user experience when using our Grant Portal, it is recommended to use Google Chrome 14+ (highly recommended), Firefox 9+, or Safari 4+. Internet Explorer users may encounter technical issues.
How do I know if my organization has a GLM account?
If you are unsure whether your organization already has a GLM account, please contact GrantsAdministration@greaterhartfordgives.org, with your agency name and contact information, and we will run the verification.
How do I add additional users to my organization's account?
If you’d like to add additional users to your account, please contact your Hartford Foundation Community Impact Officer or email applications@greaterhartfordgives.org.
I work with multiple organizations. Can I use my account to submit applications for more than one organization?
A user account can only be connected to one organization at a time. If you are a grantwriter for multiple organizations, please contact us to discuss your options.
How do I upload files to the application?
For application questions that request an uploaded attachment, click the “Upload a file” button and then choose the desired document from your computer. The file name of the uploaded file will be indicated under the “Upload a file” button. Then save your application (using the button at the bottom of page).
You may only upload one document per question.
If you upload the wrong file: Once you have uploaded a file, you will see options to delete or replace with a new file.
Pay attention to your file names: Remove extra periods or replace with a dash or underscore character.

Plaques and signs
Before finalizing language for a plaque or sign, please submit it for approval to Chris Senecal, Senior Communications Officer, at csenecal@greaterhartfordgives.org.
