Plainfield Chamber Foundation
The Plainfield Chamber Foundation appears to be the philanthropic arm of the Plainfield Chamber of Commerce and its scholarship/grant programs are hosted on the chamber's official website. The site (plainfield-in.com) includes a Plainfield Chamber Scholarships page with an application link and current 2026 updates. Contact and staff/board pages are present on the same domain.

Good Fit

- • Can submit the required written application with contact details and requested amount.

Geography
Observed giving is strongly local: the latest year shows nearly all dollars remaining in-state with heavy concentration in Plainfield and Guilford Township, and only very small out-of-state awards.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded 11 distinct recipients in the latest year and has supported multiple independent organizations across three years, indicating a moderate spread of grantees despite dollar concentration among the top five recipients.
New Applicants
The chamber website publishes application guidance and a clear written-application route, a mailing address and phone are provided, and the latest year included seven new recipients, which together indicate new entrants can and do gain support.
