Connection matters.

A conversation. A welcoming place. A creative outlet. A helping hand. A sense of belonging. Each can play a role in building a healthier community.

On World Mental Health Day (tomorrow), we recognize the local organizations, professionals, volunteers and neighbors working to support well-being and strengthen connections throughout Chelsea.

A healthy community is one where people know they don’t have to navigate life alone.

A grant is about more than funding. It can give a local idea the opportunity to be heard, explored and shared.

In 2026, Chelsea Community Foundation awarded $91,800 to seven local nonprofit organizations, supporting projects across Arts & Culture; Health, Wellness & Aging; Trails, Parks & Transportation; and Youth & Education.

Each investment begins with someone who sees an opportunity to make Chelsea stronger and is willing to act on it.

Learn more about grants and grant writing at our upcoming Grant Information Workshop on November 9th. All are welcome! Questions about the event? Contact us at [email protected].

Every community has a story. Chelsea’s is told through the artists who create, the nonprofits that serve, the volunteers who step forward, and the neighbors who invest in what matters.

This October, Chelsea Community Foundation is celebrating local voices and the many ways people use their talents, ideas and generosity to strengthen our community.

When local voices are heard and supported, good ideas have the opportunity to become something more.

At Chelsea Community Foundation, we see what can happen when resources and committed people come together around a shared goal.

Chelsea is a stronger community because so many people choose to be part of making it better.

Thank you for volunteering, leading, mentoring, organizing, advocating, listening, donating and caring. Thank you for doing the work that isn't always noticed but is deeply felt.

Help to support All Things Chelsea.

Leadership doesn’t always come with a title or recognition. Often, it looks like people who are willing to share their time, experience and ideas because they care deeply about where they live.

Chelsea Community Foundation is guided by 14 advisory committee members who volunteer their time and serve on subcommittees supporting the work of the Foundation. Together, they help CCF stay connected to local needs, identify opportunities and thoughtfully steward resources that strengthen Chelsea.

Their service reflects something we see throughout our community: people stepping forward not for recognition, but because they want to make Chelsea an even better place to live, work and grow.

This September, we’re grateful for our Advisory Committee and for the many community leaders who quietly turn their commitment to Chelsea into action.

Chelsea Community Foundation’s story is rooted in people who believed that caring for a community also means planning for its future.

This September, as we celebrate the community heroes among us, we remember those who helped lay the foundation and the many leaders who have followed in their footsteps. Their example continues to inspire CCF’s commitment to Supporting All Things Chelsea.

One of Chelsea’s greatest strengths is the way people of different generations contribute to the community.

Young people discover the importance of service. Adults share their time and expertise. Older residents contribute decades of knowledge, perspective and experience.

When generations work together, we don’t just accomplish more, we build connections that keep our community strong for the future.

Service is at the heart of what makes a community strong. Whether it's the courage of our first responders, a formal volunteer opportunity, or a simple act of kindness for a neighbor, every act of service helps bring us closer together.

Take a moment today to think about how you can give back because when we show up for each other, our whole community benefits. You don’t need unlimited free time to make a difference. Sometimes an hour is enough. Sometimes it’s sharing a skill, making an introduction or helping with one event.

A thriving community takes many hands, including those willing to step forward and lead.

Chelsea Community Foundation’s Executive Committee is part of a dedicated group of volunteer leaders who give their time, experience and perspective to help strengthen our community. Their work supports CCF’s four focus areas: Arts & Culture; Health, Wellness & Aging; Trails, Parks & Transportation; and Youth & Education.

This September, as we celebrate the unsung heroes among us, we recognize the volunteers and community leaders whose compassion, generosity and dedication help make Chelsea such a special place to call home.

Thank you to our Executive Committee and to all those who quietly lead, serve and help turn good ideas into meaningful opportunities for Chelsea.
