Chaedrol Fund engages with helping organizations on behalf of Chaedrol LLC, a federal acquisition consultancy, making targeted investments in our community to 501(c)(3) organizations. We are especially interested in helping organizations across three focus areas:

• Basic needs, including shelter and feeding programs
• Mental health, including substance abuse
• The Arts, particularly organizations that feature the work of underrepresented artist

Annually, the Chaedrol Fund provides grants of between $1,000 and $5,000. New partners are eligible to receive a grant of $1,000 and will automatically receive at least $1,000 next year so long as they submit a grant report.
