Priorities and Grants
Our Priorities

Chambers Family Fund invests time, expertise and funding in organizations that are aligned with our mission. We seek opportunities to invest in organizations working within our priority areas: Early Care and Education of Children, Women’s Economic Self-Sufficiency, Democratic Values and Arts and Culture.

In addition to our priority areas, we award community grants at the initiative of the family trustees. Our community support provides an avenue for their individual interests. Generally, these grants are made for unique, one-time funding opportunities or for ongoing support to educational and religious organizations. Community support is given to organizations in which the family takes an active interest or has an established connection.


Early Care and Education of Children
We improve early care and education by partnering with organizations that are leaders in changing systems, educating the public and advocating for children and their future.

Women's Economic Self-Sufficiency
We seek to make sustained change by supporting systemic and policy efforts to improve women’s incomes, job security and their ability to provide adequately for their families. We have also partnered with community foundations to create new state-wide women's funds.
