The word Community in our name is central to our mission. It means all of us, together. All of us in the Fox Valley region continue to be needed to help create a vibrant Fox Valley region. Because, together, we flourish.

Reflection Brings Hope

As a trusted partner, helping people make a difference in the lives of all, the Community Foundation strengthens our community for current and future generations. Reflecting on your generosity throughout 2024 and the work accomplished through understanding community needs, knowledge exchange, and convening and collaborating, we are grateful for caring community champions like you and emphasize that none of this is possible without you!

In 2024, a few key areas of focus included affordable child care, housing, food insecurity, mental health, trail development, and the arts. We continue to hear from nonprofit partners that many have been providing services in record numbers amidst the changing funding landscape over the last few years. Through listening and learning, we share opportunities for our donors to join together to provide resources to nonprofit organizations to serve people and build community. Together, we flourish.

The generosity of our donors in the Fox Valley is exceptional and helps ensure a brighter future for many people in the Fox Valley Region. We combine knowledge and understanding of our community with donor passion to create action. Just a couple of ways we accomplish this are through awarding grants to nonprofit organizations and scholarships to students.

We invite you to join us as we aspire to provide opportunities to help everyone reach their full potential. Through our many meaningful relationships throughout the communities we serve, together we are able to make a tremendous impact. Thank you for being a trusted partner
in our mission to serve as a community foundation for all.
