PLATTEVILLE COMMUNITY FUND

MATCHING PERSONAL PHILANTHROPY WITH COMMUNITY NEEDS.

For Good. For Ever.

The Platteville Community Fund

A permanent, unrestricted, charitable endowment dedicated to awarding grants that serve our area.

A means for individuals, organizations, and businesses to support their unique charitable community interests through funds that focus on specific areas of concern/need thereby personalizing their charitable giving.

Growth and success depends on donors who share a commitment to investing their resources in the Platteville community.

How does it work?

Anyone can make a gift, large or small, to the Platteville Community Fund.  Every gift benefits our community. 

Awards from the fund are made through a grant application/review process. Awards are made in response to community needs as determined by the local advisory board/review committee. Grants are issued to enhance art, education, health and human services, environment, and historic preservation.
