Thank you for your interest in the CHEFA grant programs.

CHEFA is proud to have provided more than $14 million in grant funding to Connecticut nonprofits in the furtherance of the Authority’s mission.

At this time, the Authority has suspended the awarding of any new grants until further notice.  The Fiscal Year 2009 State of Connecticut Deficit Mitigation Plan, approved by the Connecticut General Assembly and signed by Governor M. Jodi Rell, required the transfer of $13.1 million from CHEFA's reserve funds to the State of Connecticut's General Fund.

CHEFA grants have been funded through prudent use of Authority reserves and operating surpluses since FY 2003.  The Board of Directors hopes that the CHEFA Grants Program will resume and we recommend that you check our website periodically for updates.  Please contact us if you have any questions or comments.
