The Community Foundation manages community grant cycles and scholarships. Grant applications are through the Nantucket Fund, the Remain Nantucket Fund, and the Offshore Wind Community Fund. Several community scholarships are available for students furthering their education. Below are the timelines for the grant and scholarship cycles.
Grants are the primary means through which the Community Foundation for Nantucket improves and enhances the Island. Proceeds for grants come from restricted and unrestricted endowments and donations from charitably-minded organizations and individuals. The Foundation provides its expertise and objectivity in determining the most beneficial use for funds available for grant making.
