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.
