Description
The Milton Fund supports charitable programs and projects benefiting the Milton community. Overseen by the Community Foundation of Southern Wisconsin, it awards grants annually to nonprofit organizations, the local school district, and local government agencies. Its funding priorities include historical and environmental preservation, education, health care, youth programs, and senior programming.
Established in 1996, the Fund gives current and former residents a way to contribute to their community through a permanent endowment. A percentage of the endowment’s earnings supports grants each year. A local volunteer advisory board initiates fundraising activities and determines grant awards based on the community’s changing needs.
