WHAT IS THE PLATTEVILLE COMMUNITY FUND?

The Platteville Community Fund is a permanent, unrestricted, charitable endowment dedicated to serving our area.  Its growth and success depends on people of modest means or wealth who share a commitment to investing their resources in the Platteville community to enhance art, education,health and human services, the environment, and historic preservation.  The Platteville Community Fund also provides a means for individuals, organizations, and businesses to support their unique charitable community interests through funds that focus on specific concerns.  It is also a way for people to personalize their charitable giving.

 
 
HOW DOES THE FUND WORK?
Anyone can make a gift, large or small, to the Platteville Community Fund.  It's very flexible.  And every gift benefits our community.  Awards from the fund are made through grant applications or as a response to community need as determined by the local advisory board.
