"This community is rich in tradition with strong values of hard work, great fellowship, and profound generosity. It is a great place to live and a wonderful place to raise a family. We recognize the many organizations and programs that contribute to the quality of our community. It takes much thought, precious time, hard work, and financial support for them to exist.  They are all an integral part of what makes Chippewa Falls so outstanding. Most of these programs would never exist without the generosity of our community.

"With much gratitude, we are currently enjoying the benefits of that generosity, through these programs and organizations every day. It is our hope that the generation of our grandchildren and beyond will enjoy the fruits of what we have been able to contribute. Jerry and I are also hopeful that other families appreciate the great qualities in our community and understand the importance of continuing this long tradition of giving back to the community."- Jerry and Mary Jacobson

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.
