Cabot Community Grant Fund
The Community Grant Fund, administered by the Cabot Community Association, awards grants for community and economic development. Cabot grassroots groups and not-for-profit organizations are eligible to apply for grants of up to $500 to support community-led efforts in Cabot. These grants are designed to provide support to a variety of local efforts to build and sustain quality of life in Cabot. Applications are accepted throughout the year and a group or organization can only apply for funds for the same purpose once in a calendar year.
The Cabot Community Fund (CCF) allows the CCA to support community based projects and events that further the mission of the CCA. The CCF is funded by the generous support of the Cabot Creamery and other donations.
Please review the eligibility and policy guidelines below before applying.
Use of Funds
- Funds will only be awarded to non-governmental organizations. Governmental agencies, or their representatives, cannot apply (i.e. Town and School).

- Applicants must document how the funds will be used, why the amount being requested is needed, and how it will benefit the community.
- The maximum amount that can be requested and awarded is $500.
- Please apply at least 90 days prior to date the funds are needed to allow enough time to review and process the application.
- Students can apply as a group (i.e. 8th grade class) to help finance projects or field trips, after all other avenues of funding have been exhausted. Teachers, as school representative, cannot be the applicant.
