Chippewa Moraine Ice Age Reserve Endowment Fund

"Allen grew up hunting and trapping in the area of the Chippewa Moraine Ice Age Unit. It was his idea to support the unit; he was more than enthusiastic that there was a local and physical site where he could explore his passion for nature"

It was on behalf of his request that his family provided a lasting legacy in Allen Seilheimer's memory by starting the Chippewa Moraine Ice Age Reserve Endowment Fund.  Grants will support the mission and activities of the Chippewa Moraine Ice Age Reserve.

Creating a charitable fund through the Community Foundation is a meaningful way to make a lasting difference. When you establish an endowed fund, your gift becomes a permanent source of support for the community. The fund is carefully invested, and a portion of the earnings are used each year to provide grants that address important local needs. This approach ensures that your generosity has an impact not only today, but for generations to come. Your original gift, along with all future earnings, remains a lasting source of community capital dedicated to positive change.

The Community Foundation of Chippewa County was established to build permanent charitable resources that benefit the people, communities, and nonprofit organizations throughout the County. Donors who choose to endow their gifts help strengthen the community while creating a legacy that lasts forever. Grants are awarded in the name of the endowment fund, preserving the designated charitable intentions and honoring the donor's commitment to causes they care about most.

Community Foundations offer a simple, powerful, and highly personal way to give. By providing flexible charitable tools designed to meet a wide range of philanthropic goals. You may contribute cash, stocks, bonds, real estate, or other assets, making it easy to support Chippewa County communities in ways that align with your financial and charitable objectives.
