Due to the holidays, our offices will be closed on the following days: December 24 – 25 and January 1.
The Community Foundation is thrilled to support and celebrate our grantees! We appreciate the wonderful work that these nonprofit partners do to make the community a better place. Thank you to our generous donors that support our Discretionary Grantmaking program and the Youth Engagement in Philanthropy (YEP) grantmaking program. Together, we are making a difference in the Fox River Valley. Enjoy this video from our recent Grantee Recognition Ceremony.
…you can always start small, even $25 can make a difference. Remember we can’t take our money with us. Even if it’s just your gift of time. Volunteer and get involved.

As a first-generation college student from a low-income family, I was worried about how I was going to pay for books and supplies. This scholarship will allow me to focus more on my studies instead of worrying about how to afford college. I am working to not only create opportunities for myself but to motivate future generations. Thank you so much for helping me along this journey!

We chose the Community Foundation because of its reputation. It’s well known, established and we can trust them to do the job for us.

A community foundation is a donor-driven organization that helps donors custom-design funds that reflect their charitable interests. Through the years, grants from these funds have made a significant impact on our local communities.
