Overview

The Argyle Community Fund, managed by The Community Foundation of Southern Wisconsin, is a permanent endowment dedicated to improving the quality of life in the Argyle area.

What is a Community Fund?
A Community Fund allows individuals and groups to contribute time and money toward the betterment of a specific community. Each community fund has a volunteer advisory board comprised of local members who encourage the growth of the fund and oversee distributions in the form of grants. These grants are awarded to community projects and programs based on the changing needs of that community. The Community Foundation of Southern Wisconsin oversees 16 community funds in its nine-county service area.
Each year a portion of the Fund’s earnings are returned to the community in the form of grants.
