Grants & Foundations

Collaborations with private, corporate, and family foundations, as well as government agencies, make the work of Connecticut Public possible.

  • They support the journalism of Connecticut Public’s award-winning News Department, which reports on issues important to our community and to many foundations – such as education, housing and homelessness, health equity, and the environment.
  • With challenge grants and general operating grants, they support programming on Connecticut Public Radio, including national programs such as Morning Edition and All Things Considered, and locally-produced programs including Audacious, Disrupted, Seasoned, Where We Live, The Colin McEnroe Show, and NEXT.
  • Challenge grants and general operating support grants also support programming on CPTV, including the CPTV-produced Where ART Thou, as well as local broadcast of special documentaries and national programs such as PBS Newshour, Nature, Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood and Arthur.
  • They support the technical infrastructure that keeps Connecticut Public Radio and CPTV on the air and reaching thousands of listeners and viewers each day.
  • Grants also enable Connecticut Public to grow by launching programs that fulfill its educational mission in new ways. Recent examples include the New England News Collaborative, a ten-station consortium of public media newsrooms and led by Connecticut Public Radio.

To discuss how your foundation might collaborate with Connecticut Public, please contact Stephanie Schenkel, Director of Institutional Advancement, at (860) 275-7249 or sschenkel@ctpublic.org.
