Give Chippewa County Grant

The Give Chippewa County Grant connects generous individuals to support community projects that originate in Chippewa County. This initiative encourages collaboration, volunteer involvement, and sustainable solutions to local needs. By pooling resources, the program aims to create a lasting impact through grants that make a tangible difference in the community. Members of the grant program are dedicated to fostering a spirit of philanthropy across generations, ensuring that both current and future community needs are met.

Our Purpose
Give Chippewa County connects multiple generations of generous individuals that want to give back to Chippewa County. By coming together, our members provide near-term support through grants and long-term support through the building of an endowment fund that is designed to create perpetual support to our community. Give Chippewa County was created with the goal to provide an opportunity to pool resources with others to continue the generous spirit of Chippewa County. You do not need to wealthy, to be involved in and or have a voice in philanthropy.
The Give Chippewa County Giving Circle is closely linked with the Community Foundation of Chippewa County. The endowment is a fund held with the Foundation and designed to provide a perpetual gift amount to local organizations as determined by the members.
The Give Chippewa County program provides grants to projects that originate in Chippewa County and demonstrate strong volunteer involvement, promote collaboration, reduce service duplication, help people help themselves, build upon community strengths, make a tangible difference in meeting important community needs, and demonstrate a high level of sustainability.
