A History of Powerful Grantmaking

Since 1975, the Fond du Lac Area Foundation has invested in nonprofit organizations that strive to improve the lives of people living, working, and serving Fond du Lac County. Our grant awards have and will continue to be investments in the region, helping fulfill our mission to improve lives by promoting and serving the community’s greatest needs.

We are proud of our rich grantmaking history, having disbursed countless grant awards to nonprofit organizations. These powerful awards are made possible by four types of grantmaking: donor-directed funds, scholarship funds, Impact Grants, and our bi-annual grant cycles in spring and fall.

TESTIMONIALS HEADLINE

“The Arc Fond du Lac has been fortunate to receive generous support from the Fond du Lac Area Foundation for many years. The Foundation awarded us a grant to install durable safety mats beneath our playground equipment which have significantly enhanced the accessibility of our playground, allowing many of our participants to fully enjoy this space.”
