- With few exceptions, Chankaska does not make charitable donations to or for the following:
- Travel and related expenses, including student trips
- Start-up funding for new organizations or small businesses
- For-profit entities

- Individuals for their pursuit of personal goals or tragedies. Instead, we give to supporting organizations that in turn help those in need.
Donation requests will not be considered unless they comply with all of the following guidelines:
- Fully completed Donation Request Form. An incomplete “Donation Request From” will not be accepted.
