Your Generosity Can

Make a Lasting Difference

Welcome to the Eau Claire Community Foundation (ECCF), where we help individuals, families and organizations turn generosity into meaningful impact. Since 1997, ECCF has connected generous people with opportunities to strengthen the Eau Claire area.

For some, that means supporting a nonprofit that has made a difference in their life. For others, it may mean creating a charitable fund, planning a future gift, or involving family in giving.

My role at ECCF is to help you explore those possibilities. You do not need to have a giving plan figured out before reaching out. We can start with a conversation about what matters to you and the impact you hope to make.

When we connect, or meet, I may answer your questions, recommend different ways to make a gift, share information about our region’s vibrant non-profit community and upcoming projects, and source additional information for you.

We can also work alongside your financial advisor, accountant, or attorney to help make charitable giving part of your broader plans.

I invite you to learn more about ECCF and the many ways you can be part of our work in the community.
