Description
Event Sponsorship through the Community Vision Fund supports events that foster a community where all are valued, feel included, and can contribute. The Community Foundation for the Fox Valley Region uses these grants to uplift community events that reflect its Belonging value and strengthen community connection and well-being.
The Community Vision Fund is an unrestricted discretionary fund addressing needs across the region rather than a single designated cause. Event Sponsorship focuses that support on free, public events benefiting people 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.
