Cape Ann Community Foundation Announces Recipients of 2025 Grants

Non-Profit and Community Recipients to be Celebrated at CACF’s June 5 Event

The Cape Ann Community Foundation (CACF) announced the recipients of its 2025 grants, selecting nine organizations from the record 40 applications received earlier this year.

The Cape Ann Community Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization established in 2015 by the Cape Ann Chamber of Commerce to manage and award grants from the proceeds from sales of the Cape Ann License Plate. CACF makes grants for projects that support the foundation’s mission to improve the economy and overall quality of life for the residents of Cape Ann.

The following 2025 grant recipients represent a variety of programs benefiting the Cape Ann community:
Cape Ann Pride – their grant will be used to help fund educational and social events for this year’s Cape Ann Pride celebration (May 29-June 1)
Cape Ann Vernal Pond – this grant will be used to purchase a new computer that supports communications and education programs
ConnecTones – the grant would help fund a program bringing live, intergenerational music experiences to independently living seniors and the greater Cape Ann community
Educational Foundation for Rockport – their grant will be used to allow small children and people in wheelchairs to view the night through a community telescope
Essex Elementary School – this grant will be used to support a program exposing students to live performances that help them learn about the Cape Ann community through music
Lanes Coven Theater Company – the grant would be used to support a program making performances more accessible for those facing financial barriers
Manchester-by-the-Sea Public Library – their grant will be used to provide greater library accessibility to the neurodiverse community
Maritime Gloucester – the grant will be used to expand the Ocean Explorers program to 3rd–5th grade classrooms in Rockport, Essex, and Manchester-by-the-Sea
Together Gloucester – this grant will be used to provide sneakers to children whose families may not be able to receive support for this type of assistance

These grant recipients will be celebrated at the Foundation’s second annual Candlepins for a Cause event at Cape Ann Lanes on June 5. They will be joined by past CACF grant recipients and friends of the Foundation to spotlight CACF support for community organizations and programs and promote adoption of the Cape Ann License Plates. The sale of Cape Ann license plates and direct donations to CACF make the Foundation grants possible.

Anyone interested in fielding a team can do so with a $200 donation.  Individual bowlers can participate with a$35 donation to the Foundation.  Those who would like to attend the event and cheer on the bowlers – and support the Foundation – are asked to make a $20 donation.

Bowlers and other attendees can register by clicking on the event link on the Foundation’s www.lovecapeann.com website.

“The financial support we hope to generate with Candlepins for a Cause – along with the revenue from the Cape Ann license plate and direct donations to the Foundation – will help us continue to assist our region’s non-profit and community organizations,” said CACF Co-Chair Britta Cahoon.

Candlepins for a Cause event will be a fun way to help the Foundation continue its work while honoring the organizations that serve the Cape Ann community as well as the supporters who make our efforts possible ,” said  Tony Sapienza, CACF Co-Chair.

It’s finally going to happen- They’re gonna phase out the penny

@ OnlyInBos reports “The United States government is phasing out the penny, whose use has spanned more than two centuries.

The Treasury Department will stop putting new pennies into circulation by early next year.

Businesses will need to start rounding up or down to the nearest 5 cents”

Pauline sold us an open flag for Captain Joe and Sons in June of 2020, 5 years ago

It’s dirty from rolling around in the back of my truck each night but still 💯 intact. I bought a cheap Chinese made flag off Amazon for our boat last year and at the end of the season it was completely tattered
