Public invited to grant distribution celebration in Clintonville

Grants will be presented to several local organizations when the Clintonville Area Foundation holds its fourth annual grant distribution celebration Feb. 19. “This is a win-win for all involved,” said Nancy Ignacio, chairwoman of the foundation’s advisory board. “It allows us to meet our grant recipients in person, it gives them a chance to meet us, and it allows donors and other folks from the community to see the good work of the Foundation.” The celebration will be held from 7-9 a.m. at the Living Room Coffee Shop in Clintonville. Coffee and morning sweet treats will be served. This is a free event and the public is invited. The Clintonville Area Foundation was established in 1995 with its mission to enhance and improve the social, cultural, educational, health and general well-being of people in the Clintonville area. A 12-member board of local community volunteers serves as advisers to the Clintonville Area Foundation. In 2000, the Clintonville Area Foundation became a geographic affiliate of the Appleton-based Community Foundation for the Fox Valley Region to utilize the expertise and stability of the second largest certified community foundations in Wisconsin. Since then, the CAF has awarded nearly $365,000 in grants from charitable and scholarship funds created within the CAF by area individuals and families.
