Any member of CAHNR’s faculty may request a search of GrantStation.com at any time. Reach out to anna.galjan@uconn.edu

CAHNR has a subscription to a private foundation database called GrantStation.com. GrantStation.com features thousands of private funders throughout Connecticut, nationwide, or globally. GrantStation differs from other private foundation databases in that it lists grantmakers who are actively funding grants at this time, will accept an unsolicited request, and typically serve a broad population.

GrantStation does not list specific grant opportunities or programs; rather, it lists funders to be further researched by the grant seeker.

Please contact Anna Gault Galjan, CAHNR Grants Officer, who can run a detailed search on topic, geography, and type of funding. You may reach her at anna.galjan@uconn.edu Search criteria may include many topics relevant to CAHNR faculty:
