COMMUNITY FOCUSED GIVING

GRANTS

The West Chop Community Fund partners with non-profit organizations on Martha’s Vineyard to address urgent, unmet needs on the Island. We welcome applications from Island nonprofits of all sizes that offer creative solutions to community challenges. Annual grants generally range in size from $5,000 to $50,000.

GRANT PROCESS

The WCCF's grant making authority is currently limited to registered non-profit organizations operating on Martha's Vineyard. If your organization is an active 501(c)(3) and would like to submit a grant application, then please refer to the "Applicant Guidelines" below for further instructions and eligibility criteria. Applications must be submitted no later than October 31 to be considered for grants awarded the following summer. All applications will be reviewed by the WCCF Grants Committee and final selections will be approved by the WCCF Board of Directors.
