ABOUT THE FOUNDATION...

     The Community Foundation of Southern Wisconsin was started in 1992 as a tax-exempt public chairity. We receive and invest tax-deductible gifts and distribute a portion of the earnings through grant awards to enhance the quality of life in southern Wisconsin and beyond. We currently have over 475 funds supporting an array of charitable interests including the arts, education, the environment, health and human services, and historic preservation.

     The Foundation has a board of directors comprised of community leaders from throughout the seven county service area. This volunteer board handles decision making and general policy issues that concern the Foundation. All members of the board are passionate about charitable giving, the Community Foundation's success and welcome any questions regarding the Foundation.
