The Chosen Valley Community Foundation works to strengthen our community through meaningful philanthropy. Donations made to the Foundation stay in our community and are distributed through our Grants, Scholarships, and Special Projects programs.

An affiliate of the Rochester Area Foundation and serving the Chatfield School District area, The Chosen Valley Community Foundation is a Minnesota non-profit corporation recognized as a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization by the IRS. This means caring donors can take advantage of a tax deduction when donating gifts such as cash, stock, or property. We use those gifts to fund grants and special projects in the community. Those who choose to give through the Foundation can be assured that funds are wisely managed and distributed by a local board of directors.
