Chelsea Groton Foundation Accepting Grant Applications

Information via Chelsea Groton

GROTON, CT – The Chelsea Groton Foundation is now accepting applications for the spring grant cycle through the Foundation’s online application portal until Friday, April 16, 2021. Local and regional charitable organizations in the program areas of Animal Welfare, Arts and Culture, Economic Development, Education, Environment, Health and Human Services, Housing, and Youth Activities, should visit www.chelseagroton.com/CGFoundation to access the online application portal and more details on specific requirements.

The Foundation typically reviews applications and awards grants two times per year. However, as we enter a second year of the COVID-19 pandemic, organizations who support critical needs may need emergency funding sooner than April. Any organization in need of emergency funding should contact the Foundation directly at giving@chelseagroton.com.

Additional resources are located on the Foundation’s web page, including application FAQs, grant writing assistance, and SBA PPP loan information. Please visit www.chelseagroton.com/CGFoundation.

Each year, Chelsea Groton Bank and the Chelsea Groton Foundation support more than 300 local organizations through monetary gifts, grants, sponsorships, scholarships and employee volunteerism. In 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Bank and Foundation provided more than $1,000,000 in unprecedented giving. More information, including a list of last fall’s grant recipients, is available at chelseagroton.com/CGFoundation.
