APPLICATIONS FOR 2025 GRANTS

The Cape Ann Community Foundation (CACF) invites 2025 proposals for grants. Applications will be available on Monday, March 31, 2025 and must be submitted by Wednesday, April 30, 2025. Grants are awarded from the proceeds made from the Cape Ann License Plate and direct donations from the community. Our grants range from $1,000 to $5,000 for projects that support the Foundation’s mission in the following areas:

• Regional promotion: projects that support and enhance the quality of life for the Cape Ann region and the communities of Essex, Gloucester, Manchester-by-the-Sea and Rockport; and promote Cape Ann as a desirable place to live, work, recreate, and vacation.
• Economic Development: projects that expand employment opportunities and enhance the economic vitality of Cape Ann, including but not limited to projects that facilitate the start-up of new enterprises or the expansion of existing enterprises on Cape Ann.
• Training and Education: projects that support the training and education of the current and future Cape Ann workforce, including entrepreneurial training, to help Cape Ann residents succeed and thrive in the 21st-century economy.

Eligible applicants include religious, educational, scientific and cultural institutions; poverty relief agencies; and in general any organization that qualifies as a 501(c) (3) charity and is based in or providing services to the Cape Ann community. Local governments and their subdivisions in the communities of Essex, Gloucester, Manchester-by-the-Sea and Rockport are also eligible to apply for CACF grants.

“The work the Foundation is able to accomplish with the help of the proceeds from plates on the road and generous bidders during our Low-Number Cape Ann License Plate Online Auction each year is a testament to the heart and soul of the Cape Ann Community and the pride we all hold for our beautiful area.” said Britta Cahoon, Co-Chair “Please don’t forget, if you already have a plate, you can continue to make a difference through a direct donation to the Foundation on our website and by spreading the word to family and friends.” added Tony Sapienza, Co-Chair.

For further information on the grant application process, call Sam Bevins at (978) 283-1601 or email sam@capeannchamber.com.

Erika Tarantal gets to know Gloucester and the people who give it life. A local blogger gives us the expert inside tour, and Erika visits a community garden that promotes backyard farming. At the Gloucester Marine Genomics Institute, the fishing and biotech industries are working together on the cutting edge of marine biotech – and training a new generation of workers. A seaglass artist teaches Erika to make jewelry, and we visit Cape Ann Lanes, where the good times have been rolling since the 1950s.

This snapback cap in one size fits all is a must-have addition to your cap collection.

Take your leftover pizza and put it in a frying pan over medium-high heat. And don’t do anything until you see the cheese on top start to melt and you see it just start to bubble.

Then you pour a couple of tablespoons of warm water on each side of the pan and cover it for 15-20 seconds.

When you take the cover off you’ll have perfect, no flop pizza! In this care it was even better than when we ate at the restaurant!

Hi Joey – 

Thanks so much for helping spread the word earlier today about our Golf Fundraiser happening tomorrow at Harbor 9! It promises to be a fantastic day of golf, socializing, and most importantly, supporting an amazing organization that’s been behind the scenes championing local athletics for years. 

While many in the community recognize us as the driving force behind the construction of Newell Stadium, our impact goes well beyond that. Since the early 2000s, we’ve contributed tens of thousands of dollars to help cover user fees for student-athletes in Gloucester, ensuring access and opportunity for all. But that’s just the beginning. 

Here are a few of our more recent contributions that have directly enhanced the athletic experience for students across the city: 

• An athletic trainer cart to ensure safety on the sidelines  
• A brand new wrestling mat for our student wrestlers  
• A Fully Automated Timing (FAT) system for our track & field program  
• A state-of-the-art basketball shooting machine  
• Financial support for the Young Legends Ball Hockey rink  
• Investment in the renovation of the GHS Tennis Courts  
• Ongoing field maintenance projects at local baseball and softball fields  
• …and much more!  

We’re also excited to announce that we’ll be drawing the winners of our “Chip In and Win” raffle at tomorrow’s event. A $10 donation gives you the chance to win free user fees for one season for a student-athlete. You don’t need to be a parent to enter—you can donate on behalf of a deserving athlete selected by the Athletic Director. 

Thanks again for helping us continue this important work and thank you for helping us spread the word. 

The community is welcome to come socialize and join us for a great event. 

To the River!

Meet Shadow! This gorgeous midnight beauty is certainly something special! Shadow has a personality that will win you over the second you come to say hello! His favorite activity is to curl up in a cozy little ball while you give him lots of pets and scratches. Shadow is about 4 years old and came to us from Puerto Rico. Shadow was diagnosed with a severe tooth infection that required us to remove most of his teeth making him special needs. With that being said, he hasn’t skipped a meal since and always puts a smile on the faces of those who interact with him. This guy is just a handsome, easy going man who’s looking to find his forever home! If you’re interested in making Shadow the newest member of your family, you can apply for him at capeannanimalaid.org/catapp
