The Community Vision Fund seeks to fulfill community needs and advance the well-being for all in Calumet, Shawano, Waupaca, and the Neenah-Menasha area of Winnebago counties. The fund combines dollars from generous donors, which enable us to accomplish much more together than we could alone. See donors who have established endowment funds and learn how to give now.
With fresh insights from the Fall 2025 nonprofit survey, the Community Foundation is committed to listening and adjusting course to remain responsive to community needs. Our team has re-evaluated the Community Vision Fund priorities to reflect what we’ve heard and to integrate best practices learned over the past year. We are in the process of finalizing the details with clear guidelines and timeframes and will share more details by mid-January, with the application reopening starting in early February. Thank you for your patience as we thoughtfully plan how to best steward the Foundation’s unrestricted funding for greatest community impact. We look forward to continuing this work together.
The Foundation’s values are at the core of our work and decision-making:
We treat each person and organization with dignity and esteem, and as a partner in our shared goal to improve individual and community well-being.
We steward resources responsibly, make thoughtful and transparent decisions, and keep our promises and commitments.
We engage in fulfilling our mission together in a culture of abundance where our skills, talents, and other resources foster the outcomes none of us could produce alone.
We show our gratitude for the gifts and trust we are given, fulfilling our commitments with humble care and service.
We foster a culture where all are valued, feel included, and can contribute to our mission. We invite diverse participation in our work, remove barriers to opportunity and strive toward fair and inclusive access to resources and the opportunity for all of the Fox Valley Region’s people and communities to achieve their full potential.
