Empower Students. Strengthen Our Future.

The Chelsea Education Foundation is proud to support innovative learning opportunities, student experiences, and educational programs that enrich the lives of Chelsea School District students. None of this would be possible without the generosity of community partners like you.

During the 2025–2026 school year, CEF awarded nearly $100,000 in grants, scholarships, and student support funding. These investments helped fund classroom innovation, graduating senior scholarships, 6th Grade Camp assistance, support for the 8th Grade Washington, D.C. trip, and many other opportunities that make a meaningful difference for students and educators.

As we look ahead to the 2026–2027 school year, your sponsorship will help us continue expanding these opportunities while supporting the fundraising and outreach efforts that make our mission possible. Every sponsorship directly impacts Chelsea students by helping fund programs and resources that might not otherwise be available.

Please review the sponsorship levels and benefits listed below. When you're ready, select your sponsorship level using the donation options to the right.

Thank you for investing in education, supporting our schools, and helping create opportunities for thousands of Chelsea students.
