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.
