2019 ECCF Competitive Grant Recipients

Community support is vital for the continuation of ECCF’s grant awards, which help local nonprofits fulfill their missions. Grants are awarded in four major giving areas:

Create Culture (arts and museums)

Form Futures (education and training)

Give Green (environment, physical fitness, and animals)

Offer Opportunities (food, shelter, accessibility, and other basic needs)

ECCF strongly encourages the public to donate to its Community Fund, which supports a diverse array of local nonprofits. They can also contribute to any of ECCF’s many other funds or even start their own. ECCF’s new Socially Responsible Investment portfolio offers an especially good option for donors who want their money to be invested in companies they can feel good about.

More information about starting a new fund or contributing to an existing one is available on this website, by emailing [email protected], or by calling the ECCF office at (715) 552-3801.
