SCHIP grant deadline extended

The spring deadline for SCHIP (Shelburne, Charlotte, Hinesburg Interfaith Projects) grant applications has been extended to Friday, May 15, due to the impact of the COVID-19 virus on our communities. Since SCHIP began making grants, many nonprofits have used their awarded funds to continue their mission to improve the lives of our neighbors and strengthen our communities.

Grants range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars. Grants may not exceed $3,000 per request, and only one grant can be received within a year by any one entity.

Applicant requirements:

• Applicants must be a 501c(3)organization or submit the application through one.
• Projects must serve residents of Shelburne, Charlotte, and/or Hinesburg.
• Funds may not be applied to annual operating budgets or permanent staffing.
• Applications are limited to one per organization per calendar year.

Grants deadlines are now May 15 and October 15 until further notice.
