NEAR & FAR AID GRANTS

We fund agencies and programs serving impoverished communities in Fairfield County. We support innovative approaches and partnerships that are the foundation for lasting change.

It is Near & Far Aid’s mission to support men, women and children living in poverty, by meeting their day-to-day needs and providing long-term solutions for a better future.

Ways We Help

Emergency Services

Food, shelter and clothing. Sadly, thousands of people in Fairfield County don’t have access to these basic necessities. Near & Far Aid grants fund the most effective providers of relief to the neediest in our community.

Economic Security

Job training, financial literacy, affordable housing. With proper support services and a path toward self-sufficiency, the funds granted by Near & Far Aid assist the working poor and provide stability and hope.

Education and Support

All children have a right to a safe home and an education regardless of zip code. Near & Far Aid is firmly committed to Fairfield County’s children. Our funding provides safe spaces to learn and thrive as well as offering protective services.
