Chilton Area Community Foundation

Purpose

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: We launched a new grant portal in March 2023. Please carefully read the instructions in the “To Apply” section near the bottom of this page.

Grants from the Chilton Area Community Foundation's Community Fund come from fundraising activities -- including an annual golf tournament -- and unrestricted funds that donors established intending that the boards of the CACF and the Community Foundation determine the best ways to use the grant money to meet ongoing community needs. The grants are intended to improve the quality of life for residents of the Chilton Area School District.

What We Fund

• Creative new activities or services: New programs, one-time projects, events, exhibits, studies or surveys.
• Enhancement or strengthening of existing activities: Projects to enhance, expand or strengthen the range, quantity and/or quality of an organization's programs and services.
• Small capital investments: Items that are directly related to program delivery or service to clients, such as a refrigerator for a food pantry or equipment to comply with Americans with Disabilities Act requirements.

Range of Grantmaking: up to $5,000.
Deadline: Jan. 31 by 11:59 pm. Grant decisions are announced at the beginning of April. 

What We Don't Fund

• Organizations that don't serve residents of the Chilton area.
• Organizations or needs not eligible per the grant policies listed above.
