Overview

What We Do The Community Foundation is a repository for more than 700 charitable funds worth more than $50 million. Each of these funds was created by donors to enhance the quality of life in Southern Wisconsin. We service these funds by managing the investment, encouraging and supporting additions, overseeing the disbursement of grants and scholarships, and managing the requisite government paperwork. The Community Foundation of Southern Wisconsin serves communities in nine Southern Wisconsin counties: Crawford, Grant, Green, Iowa, Lafayette, Rock, Sauk, Vernon, and Walworth. We provide services to donors, non-profit organizations, and students in each of these counties. Belmont Excellence in Education Fund The Belmont Excellence in Education (EIE) Fund is an endowment fund that provides private resources for the support of the Belmont Community School District. Grants from the Belmont EIE Fund to the Belmont Community School District will support educational programming outside of the boundaries of the school district budget. The Fund will provide support for programming such as field trips and technology improvements and will subsidize state cutbacks to the local district. The Fund was established in 2013 with donations from community members. The Belmont EIE Fund is led by an advisory board of Belmont citizens operating independently of the school district. The advisory board of the Belmont EIE also serves as the advisory board to the Belmont Scholarship Fund which provides scholarships to graduating seniors of Belmont High School. The advisory board leads all fundraising efforts and will determine the annual grant and scholarship awards.
