PLATTEVILLE COMMUNITY FUND
MATCHING PERSONAL PHILANTHROPY WITH COMMUNITY NEEDS.
For Good. For Ever.
The Platteville Community Fund A permanent, unrestricted, charitable
endowment dedicated to awarding grants that serve our area.
A means for individuals, organizations, and businesses to support their unique charitable community interests through funds that focus on specific areas of concern/need thereby personalizing their charitable giving.
Growth and success depends on donors who share a commitment to investing their resources in the Platteville community.
How does it work? Anyone can make a gift, large or small,
to the Platteville Community Fund. Every gift benefits our community.
Awards from the fund are made through a grant application/review process. Awards are made in response to community needs as determined by the local advisory board/review committee. Grants are issued to enhance art, education, health and human services, environment, and historic preservation.
