Enterprise Capital Grant Program
CHEFA established the Enterprise Capital Grant Program to bolster the capabilities and broaden impact of Connecticut nonprofit organizations by providing competitive grants that support strategic initiatives and strengthen balance sheets. These innovative investments may fund the launch, stabilization, or scaling of the vision and mission of an organization providing services within one of CHEFA’s core priority sectors. Enterprise Capital Grant awards range from $100,000-$500,000. The next Enterprise Capital Grant cycle will open in June 2026 with an RFP for Letters of Interest.
