Give Chippewa County is a membership-driven giving circle that awards grants to local nonprofits while building an endowed fund with the Community Foundation of Chippewa County.
Grants ranging between $750 - $2,500
This fund is designated to serve in times of community-wide crisis. Granting was opened during the COVID-19 response and then reopened for the Stanley tornado community recovery response.
Grant applications are closed at this time. However, the fund does accept donations to grant during future local crisis.
The Community Foundation is now using a system called GOapply to accept grant applications, grant contracts, and progress reports. If you have not set up a GOapply account on our online portal, the following guide below will take you through the process of creating an account, starting an application, and submitting an application.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our office at 715-723-8125 or email grants@yourlegacyforever.org

Without the grant, replacing the portable pump would have taken two to three years of fundraising instead of just one.
