Description
Visionary Grants, offered through the Community Vision Fund of the Community Foundation for the Fox Valley Region, support community-driven ideas that emerge from lived experience and grassroots leadership. The program prioritizes early-stage, experimental, or non-traditional projects that may not fit traditional funding models, with an emphasis on innovation, thoughtful risk-taking, and shared learning. Projects may include testing new approaches, piloting emerging ideas, or exploring creative solutions that benefit the Fox Valley community. Some capital projects may be eligible if they directly enable innovative, visionary efforts.
