Community Foundation to offer grants

Chester County Community Foundation will accept applications for Capacity Building Grants until Wednesday, Sept. 13. Capacity building projects should strengthen a nonprofit in areas such as mission, vision and strategy, governance and leadership, strategic relationships, fundraising and development, or operations.

All grant applicants must be charitable, tax-exempt organizations with 501(c)(3) certification, and they must be located in and serve Chester County. The goal of the Community Foundation’s grant- making is to strengthen the effectiveness of nonprofit organizations serving the Chester County region.

Nonprofits may submit one grant proposal annually. Proposals are shared with the Grants Committee overall as well as made available to each of the separate donor-advised funds. Grant monies are distributed by February of the following year and typically range from $500 to $5,000. For more information, visit https://chescocf.org/receive/ apply-for-grants/. Applications may be emailed to grants@chescocf.org.
