The Eau Claire Community Foundation (ECCF) is a bridge connecting donors with charities in order to improve quality of life in the Eau Claire area. People do not give TO the Eau Claire Community Foundation; they give THROUGH it.

As a tax-exempt public charity created by and for the Eau Claire community, ECCF establishes endowments that are invested to provide long-term support for charitable purposes. When the endowment principals earn interest and dividends over time, the earnings are distributed to local non-profit organizations. Since we are a 501(c)(3) organization, ECCF enables donors to take the maximum deduction for charitable contributions under IRS rules.

Anyone interested in donating can explore ECCF’s numerous options for contributing to existing funds or creating new ones.
