Description
Annual Responsive Grants, administered by the Community Foundation for the Fox Valley Region, provide flexible support for general operations, day-to-day mission work, and specific programs. Organizations may combine operating and program support, directing resources where they will have the greatest impact rather than focusing on a single program.
The pilot responds to a Fall 2025 nonprofit survey calling for general, responsive funding. It considers an organization’s mission, current work, financial needs, and emerging challenges or opportunities. Part of the unrestricted Community Vision Fund, the program supports community needs and well-being in Calumet, Outagamie, Shawano, and Waupaca counties and the Neenah-Menasha area of Winnebago County, Wisconsin.
