A gift to one of our Community Grant Funds ensures a vibrant future for Portage and Waushara Counties.
Since 1988, the Community Foundation has offered a competitive grant process that supports organizations and programs focused on five mission areas that make central Wisconsin special: Arts & Culture, Education, the Environment, Helping People, and Wellness.
The enduring support for our Community Grants Program has been made possible through the generosity of donors like you. We invite you to learn more about our eight Community Grant Funds.
