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.
