Microgrant Applications
About Microgrants
Chesaning United's purpose is to financially assist other nonprofits who provide health, educational and human services to the community of Chesaning and surrounding townships.
Small grants can make a big difference! The Chesaning United Fund has a long history of collaborating with other local non-profit organizations to fill the gaps in their project funding. Chesaning United knows that these vital services, projects and programs that are provided within our community have huge impacts on the lives of those who live here. We are very excited to make this money available to groups that align with our mission statement.
