Platteville Community and Excellence In Education Funds Grant

The Platteville Community and Excellence in Education Funds support various charitable initiatives in the Platteville area, promoting projects in arts, education, health, and environmental preservation. Established in 2002, these funds provide grants to enhance community services and educational needs not covered by school budgets. With a focus on local engagement, the fund encourages contributions from individuals and organizations to foster a vibrant community, ensuring that diverse educational and cultural opportunities thrive for all residents.

About the Platteville Community Fund
Annually a portion of the Fund’s earnings are given back to the community in the form of grants. The Fund supports community projects that enhance the arts, education, health and human services, the environment, and historic preservation.
The Platteville Community Fund also provides a means for individuals, organizations, and businesses to support their unique charitable community interests through funds that focus on specific concerns. The PHS Scholarship Fund, created by the Platteville Community Fund in 2010, is one such entity. A group of volunteer citizens makes up the Fund’s advisory board which initiates fundraising activities and determines grant awards.
