We are a geographic affiliate of the Community Foundation for the Fox Valley Region. As an affiliate, we benefit from their professional services and staff, allowing more time for our volunteer Affiliate Advisory Board Members to focus on raising funds and determining the best way to grant dollars back to our community.
The Chilton Area Community Foundation’s 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 Chilton Area Community Foundation Fund provides support to nonprofits serving the Chilton community and its’ residents. The Chilton 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 Chilton area.
Charitable funds established within the Chilton Area Community Foundation have awarded more than $650,000 in grants since establishing in 2001. Most grants are awarded through funds for which the donors recommend recipients or have dedicated all grant money to specific charitable organizations or causes. Competitive grants from funds directed by the CACF Board are awarded through an annual application process. Applications are due January 31.
Now, more than 50 funds established by families, businesses and other entities are providing a wide variety of support in the community from important nonprofit services to scholarships to assist Chilton High School graduates pursuing higher education.
Scholarships are available for Chilton-area students, with application deadlines starting February 1. Search for available scholarships.

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.
