Over the past couple years, the nonprofit fundraising landscape has become significantly more challenging.

 

Foundations have shifted funding priorities, and grant applications have become much more competitive. Nonprofits serving 100+ children seem to get priority over smaller organizations; however, as you know first-hand, small organizations can make a big impact. 

​

The Chesterbrook Community Foundation is proud to partner with the community of the Chesterbrook Gardens Public Housing Development. After-school and evening programs engage more than thirty kids, and thanks to our staff and Bentley University mentors, they continue to get better and better. 

​

Unfortunately, the Chesterbrook Community Foundation is in need of funding to sustain its programming for the upcoming academic year. This year, we did not receive financial support from a number of foundations that have previously supported the organization. We are asking you, our best ambassadors, to help us make up the gap. 

​

We hope to raise $15,000 by September 1. This will allow us to make a solid commitment to parents that the after-school program will run for the full academic year. 

​

Our ask to you is this: can you help us to raise this money?

 

This can be a personally significant donation, a company matching donation, through outreach to your friends / family / Chesterbrook connections, or through connections to foundations or corporations—if it helps us to secure funding, we appreciate any and all efforts to support the Chesterbrook Learning Center!
