2019 Annual Report: Celebrating Community Generosity

Dec 8, 2019 | News & Events

Celebrating Community Generosity is the perfect theme for this year’s Community Foundation annual report; generosity is at the very core of what we do. When you work with a community of dedicated people, organizations, and nonprofits, great things are bound to happen.

We are surrounded by generosity every day and the Foundation is honored to be part of remarkable connections throughout Portage and Waushara Counties. Looking back on 2019, our donors have enabled us to award over $1.8 million in grants, scholarships and program services.

Who do you love? What do you love?

Philanthropy is a collective investment. Whether you are passionate about arts & culture, wellness, helping people, education, or the environment, Central Wisconsin is fortunate to have effective organizations and community members committed to creative solutions and new ideas.

If you love where you live and want to make an everlasting impact, we invite you to join us. We strive to make philanthropy easy by helping you invest in the future of the people and places you love.
