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.
