During the first cycle of funding for the CHEF Grants Program, which closed in February 2024, we awarded over $375,000 to over 50 organizations throughout Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, and Vermont! We are currently reviewing grants submitted for the second cycle which closed in June 2024. Due to the overwhelming success of the first grant cycle and the applications currently under consideration, we expect to expend all remaining CHEF grant funding in the second cycle awards. As such, the CHEF Grants Program is now closed and there will not be another funding cycle.

If you have any questions, please email CHEF Grants Manager, Laurie Gilman: lgilman@mainecouncilonaging.org.
