The Community Foundation for the Fox Valley Region has distributed $3 million in grants to 79 nonprofit organizations in the Fox Valley region of northeast Wisconsin from the Otto Bremer Trust Community Responsive Fund with the Community Foundation.
Selected as a partner in Otto Bremer Trust’s 2024 Community Responsive Fund pilot program, the Community Foundation was one of six intermediary partners chosen across the Trust’s four-state region and one of two in Wisconsin.
Nonprofit organizations serving residents in Calumet, Outagamie, Shawano, Waupaca, and the Neenah/Menasha area of Winnebago counties were eligible to apply for grants of up to $75,000. To qualify, requests needed to align with one or more of the fund’s four focus areas: basic needs, community asset building, health and well-being, or restorative and emergency services.
“The response to this opportunity was extraordinary, with 137 applications totaling $7.8 million in grant requests, underscoring the significant need for nonprofit support in the Fox Valley region,” said Curt Detjen, President and CEO of the Community Foundation for the Fox Valley Region.
Upon completion of an application, review, and recommendation process conducted by the Community Foundation, 79 nonprofit organizations were approved by OBT to receive grants.
