It’s easy to start a fund with a gift of cash, stock, real estate or almost any asset. We can help you create a fund that generates grants to benefit your favorite charitable causes today and long after you’re gone.

Grants
Charitable funds within the Chilton Area Community Foundation have awarded more than $650,000 in grants since the CACF was established in 2001. Most grants are awarded through funds for which the donors recommend recipients or have dedicated all grant money to specific charitable organizations or causes. Competitive grants from funds directed by the CACF Board are awarded through an annual application process. Applications are due January 31.
We now have more than 50 funds established by families, businesses and other entities. These funds provide a wide variety of support in the community — from important nonprofit services to scholarships to assist Chilton High School graduates pursuing higher education. In 2022, we awarded $48,211 in Community Fund grants to 14 organizations.
Scholarships
Scholarships are available to students from Chilton-area high schools. Application deadlines start February 1. Search by school.
