Grant Application

The Foundation will make grants to 501(c)(3) organizations, government entities, school districts and universities that provide programs that serve the area defined by the Chelsea School District. We do not make grants to individuals, sectarian religious programs, or to cover deficits or other previously incurred obligations.
