August Voices of Impact Open House Recap

Aug 12, 2026 | Celebrating Philanthropy, General, Growing Our Communities, News & Events

What an inspiring evening of connection, collaboration, and community impact at our August Voices of Impact: Nonprofit Organization Open House!

We were honored to welcome nonprofit leaders who have established Organizational Endowment Funds with our Community Foundation and give them a space to share the missions and work that make our community stronger.

A special thank-you to Big Brothers Big Sisters, Boston School Forest, Boys and Girls Club of Portage County, CAP Services, Children’s Museum of Central Wisconsin, Friends of Schmeekle Reserve, Green Circle Trail, Humane Society of Portage County, Iola Winter Sports Club, North Central Conservancy Trust, Partnering Together, Portage County Historical Society, Prairie Chicken Project, Waushara Food Pantry, Wisconsin/Nicaragua Partners of the Americas, and YMCA for joining us and sharing your stories.

Our new Organizational Endowment Card Wall was a wonderful reminder of just how much good is happening across our community and how thoughtful legacy planning can help sustain that impact for generations to come. Thank you to everyone who joined us, connected with our nonprofit partners, and took time to think about the legacy they want to leave. What a meaningful way to celebrate Will & Estate Month!
