who we are

SCHIP, Inc. is an acronym for Shelburne, Charlotte and Hinesburg Interfaith Projects

SCHIP was formed in 2003 as a 501(c)(3) organization of local faith communities. We work together to raise funds for grants to improve the lives of our neighbors and to strengthen our communities.

 

Funds are generated by the sale of items donated locally to SCHIP Upscale Resale. From store proceeds, over $920,000 in grants have been made to support food shelves and emergency aid, community projects, education, health and welfare needs.

WHO WE ARE

The SCHIP Board of Directors includes two members from each of the following 

faith communities, as well as members at large:

Who we help

Many people have wondered who we help and what kind of help we provide. We give monetary grants. The association/ organization receiving the grant must be another nonprofit that helps improve the lives of those living in Shelburne, Charlotte, and Hinesburg communities.  

We award grants twice a year. So far, SCHIP's grants supported over 100 organizations in the past; see the list below.
