Since 1908, the Sewanee Civic Association and its precursors have believed in the power of area citizens to help sustain community projects and programs. Through these associations, the community has funded many worthwhile endeavors.

Since 1942, the Sewanee Civic Association (SCA) has organized the Community Chest, which has raised more than $1 million in the last decade for local organizations.

Sponsored by the SCA, the Sewanee Community Chest (SCC) is pleased to announce the beginning of the 2022–23 grant cycle. All nonprofits that benefit the community are encouraged to apply.

The 2022–23 funding application can be downloaded from the website. The application deadline is Friday, Sept. 16, 2022. Grant funds will be distributed starting April 2023, contingent on funding availability.

This year, organizations can also apply online with this form
https://forms.gle/fxGNMW2cgSv7...;. It does requires you to have a Gmail email account.

The SCC is a nonprofit organization and relies on funding from the community in order to support charitable programs throughout the greater Sewanee area. As the 2022–23 grant cycle begins, the SCC is also kicking off its yearly fundraising campaign.

The SCA urges everyone who benefits from life in this community, whether you live, work, or visit, to give generously. Donations are tax deductible. Contributions, payroll deductions and pledges are accepted at any time at P.O. Box 99, Sewanee, TN 37375. You can also make a donation through PayPal Giving
