We became a geographic affiliate of the Community Foundation for the Fox Valley Region in 2013. As an affiliate, we benefit from their professional services and staff, allowing more time for our volunteer Affiliate Board Members to focus on raising funds and determining the best way to grant dollars back to our community.
The Brillion Area Family of Funds’ charitable funds generate grants that are awarded to nonprofit organizations that are either recommended by the donor(s) who created the fund, or that are selected through an application process.
Each year the Brillion Area Family of Funds Endowment Fund provides support to nonprofits serving the Brillion community and its’ residents. The Brillion Advisory Board and the Community Foundation determine the best ways to use the grant money to meet ongoing community needs. The grants are intended to preserve, strengthen and improve quality of life in the Brillion area.
Scholarships are available for Brillion-area students, with application deadlines starting February 1. Search for available scholarships.
The Brillion Area Family of Funds awarded $28,000 in grants to 10 charitable organizations serving the Clintonville area from the Brillion Area Family of Funds Endowment Fund.

Community Foundation for the Fox Valley Region affiliates are funds within the Community Foundation that are designed to serve our smaller, more rural geographic areas.
These five geographic areas include Brillion, Chilton, Clintonville, Shawano, and Waupaca. Their relationship with the Community Foundation allows them to focus on raising funds and determining the best way to grant dollars back to their communities.
Our affiliate partners are volunteers who advise on the operations of the affiliate and utilize the Community Foundation’s professional services and staff. Volunteers who oversee the affiliates have advisory roles, but final legal authority resides with the board of the Community Foundation. We are grateful for their partnership and dedication to improving their communities not only today, but for many generations to come.
