CCF awarded a grant of $13,672 to Purple Rose Theatre Company. The grant is in support of the commission and production of script readings in partnership with Chelsea District Library. This year, its founder, actor Jeff Daniels, returned as artistic director. He mentors three full-time artistic associates and collaborates with the company’s chief diversity officer. This structure decentralizes casting, production, and script decisions and results in a more equitable leadership structure. Since 2009, these public readings have allowed Purple Rose to develop new plays and serve as a cultural attraction and economic engine. Readings are held at the Chelsea Library at no cost to the public. The newest play, Human Error by Eric Pfeffinger and directed by Lynch R. Travis, runs February 3 through March 18, 2023. https://chelseafoundation.org/ https://www.purplerosetheatre.org/ https://chelseadistrictlibrary.org/ #chelseamichigan #chelseacommunityfoundation #ccf #chelseadistrictlibrary #grant #purplerosetheater #nonprofit

As we close in on the Holidays, let’s appreciate the Spirit of Nonprofits together! America’s charitable nonprofits strengthen communities and improve lives. Charitable nonprofits embody the best of America. They provide a way for people to work together for the common good, transforming shared beliefs and hopes into action. They give shape to our boldest dreams, highest ideals, and noblest causes. America’s 1.3 million charitable nonprofits feed, heal, shelter, educate, inspire, enlighten, and nurture people of every age, gender, race, and socioeconomic status, from coast to coast, border to border, and beyond. They foster civic engagement and leadership, drive economic growth, and strengthen the fabric of our communities. Every single day. This is the spirit of Nonprofits, and the Spirit of the Chelsea Community Foundation. https://chelseafoundation.org/ ~Excerpt from ‘The National Foundation of Nonprofits.
