#FactFriday✨Defining the Legacy of Why CCF Was Formed💪 We are grateful to those who helped shape our history. 🎉The Chelsea Community Foundation began when three local leaders united with one goal — to bring extra value to the Chelsea community through generosity and collaboration. 🌿 What started as a grassroots effort soon grew into a trusted foundation supporting all things Chelsea. In 1995, CCF became an affiliate of the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan — and this year, we’re proudly celebrating 30 years of partnership and community impact! 🎉https://chelseafoundation.org/about/history/ #ChelseaCommunityFoundation #CFSEM #CCF #FactFriday #AllThingsChelsea

💚 Supporting All Things Chelsea! 💪 In September, CCF hosted a magical evening in honor of Ann Feeney at Robin Hills Farm. At the event, CCF celebrated the five 2024 Chelsea Chamber of Commerce Honorees by awarding each the opportunity to direct a $5,000 grant to a local nonprofit. Small Business Leadership Award recipients Lynae MacLellan and Denise Cugliari of @thecrazydiamondclub selected @thewavebus to receive their grant. Adding to the excitement, a WAVE bus made a special appearance, making the surprise grant even more meaningful. Throughout the years, WAVE has received various grants from CCF. We’re grateful for partners like WAVE, whose work keeps Chelsea connected! 🚐💚 #ChelseaCommunityFoundation #CommunityImpact #WAVE #CCF #CFSEM @chelseacommunityfoundation @chelseamichigan #chelseachamberofcommerce
