Our Mission

Connecting generations of caring citizens by encouraging each to support the greater good of our communities so we can dream bigger and achieve more.

Our Vision

Educate, attract, and nurture effective and ongoing multigenerational giving to support the current and future needs and opportunities in our Chippewa County communities.

Our Purpose

Give Chippewa County connects multiple generations of generous individuals that want to give back to Chippewa County. By coming together, our members provide near-term support through grants and long-term support through the building of an endowment fund that is designed to create perpetual support to our community.

Give Chippewa County was created with the goal to provide an opportunity to pool resources with others to continue the generous spirit of Chippewa County. You do not need to wealthy, to be involved in and or have a voice in philanthropy.

The Give Chippewa County Giving Circle is closely linked with the Community Foundation of Chippewa County. The endowment is a fund held with the Foundation and designed to provide a perpetual gift amount to local organizations as determined by the members.

How Grants Are Awarded

Each year Give Chippewa County will hold at least one grant cycle that will provide funds to local non-profits and charitable organizations. Funds granted will come from a portion of the Give Chippewa County annual membership donations and the Give Chippewa County Endowment Fund.

Give Chippewa County members will vote to determine which organizations are most deserving of the funds to be granted.

The winner(s) of each grant cycle will be announced at an upcoming Give Chippewa County event. Also at the event, previous Give Chippewa County grant recipients will have an opportunity to share with the Give Chippewa County members how they used their grant dollars.
