Chatham Conservation Foundation Launches New Initiatives for 2025
Dear Business Owners and Managers:
The Chatham Conservation Foundation is launching a few new initiatives this year and we would like to include as many of you as possible.
Firstly, we have launched a new website and want to share it with you, ccfinc.org. Between our website, social media and monthly E-newsletters, we reach 10,000 people per month--with approximately 50% being local residents.
Secondly, we will be hosting our Third Annual Earth Week events and encourage everyone to participate in some meaningful way. You can join us for the town-wide clean-up or attend one of the many events which are scheduled that week. Email Ellen at events@ccfinc.org
Lastly, we are hosting a Strong Island Soiree in August and want to share with you our sponsorship packages (attached). If you have ever been to a party hosted by the Cashman's at Strong Island, you'll know this will be the party of the summer! (This is a great way to treat your staff, VIP customers or special guests to a once in a lifetime event!)
I am also attaching our general sponsorship opportunities if you would rather choose something more specific, like underwriting our Winter Webinar series or co-hosting our annual meeting.

Chatham, Cape Cod Town Resources
One of the older townships on Cape Cod, Chatham was settled in 1656 by William and Anne Busby Nickerson. Incorporated in 1712, the town’s census list now approximates 7,000 residents. Originally a farming community, its inhabitants found deep sea fishing more lucrative; and today, small boat deep sea fishing, as well as shell fishing continue as important maritime industries.
Covering an area of approximately seventeen square miles, Chatham is a happy combination of past and present — old-fashioned and picturesque, yet affording the best in modern facilities.
Surrounded by water on three sides, Chatham benefits from Mother Nature’s “natural air conditioning” with cool summers, exquisite autumns, and mild winters. It is a comfortable place in which to live year-round, as a summer resident or visit on vacation. We are proud of our community and hope that you will enjoy your stay with us and return often.
Chatham operates under the town meeting form of government. The executive officers are a board of five part-time Selectmen and a Town Manager. The citizens of Chatham enjoy the special benefits of forward-looking zoning and planning, and of both public and private conservation efforts.
