Spring 2023 Funding Timeline

The CHE Board of Trustees has made the difficult decision to postpone new funding awards in the Spring 2023 grant cycle. Please note that this decision impacts only new funding awards and only the Spring 2023 grant cycle. CHE remains fully committed to meeting our obligations to existing, multi-year projects.

The CHE fund is required by city statute to achieve inflation-adjustment growth. Due to the unique market conditions over the past 12 months, the CHE Board of Trustees and staff worked very closely with our experienced financial consultants to make the prudent decision to postpone new funding. CHE will continue to monitor the situation closely and inform the community when funding for new projects is made available. At this time, no Applicant Workshops are planned.

Despite this difficult decision, CHE is confident that we will resume our regular grant cycles in the near future. We would encourage you to contact us to discuss future grant ideas.
