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 Waupaca 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.
Most grants are awarded from charitable funds for which the donors recommend the nonprofit organization recipients. However, the Waupaca Area Community Foundation accepts applications annually by December 1 from local nonprofit organizations for grants from the Waupaca Area Community Fund. View the annual competitive grant guidelines here.
Scholarships are available for Waupaca 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.
