Description
Event Sponsorship through the Community Vision Fund supports events where all people are valued, feel included, and can contribute. The Community Foundation for the Fox Valley Region uses these grants to uplift free, public events that reflect its Belonging value and strengthen community connection and well-being.
The Community Vision Fund is the Foundation’s unrestricted discretionary fund, responding to needs in Calumet, Outagamie, Shawano, and Waupaca counties and the Neenah-Menasha area of Winnebago County, Wisconsin. The Foundation welcomes new organizations, emerging ideas, and pilot efforts. Reviewers consider how events address a community need, opportunity, or tradition, alongside accessibility and the organizing team’s preparation.
