The Door County Community Foundation is seeking applications for its Sustainability Grants to provide the critical operational support for the charities that sustain quality of life in Door County.

States: Wisconsin
County: Door County (WI)
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 04/06/2023
Size of the Grant: $2,500 to $5,000
Details:
Sustainability grants help pay the salary of a case manager working with troubled teens, buy music stands for a local performing arts group, install piping to bring water to a community garden, and pay teachers to help with math and reading instruction during the summer.
Sustainability Grants are rarely glamorous and are usually not the big ideas that stir one’s soul. But this operational support is essential to the programs that sustain the parts of Door County that they love – and alleviate the challenges faced by working families because of the seasonal nature of their economy.
The Community Foundation offers Sustainability Grants because it has a fundamental belief that charities are essential part of quality of life. Helping to support their operations is key to maintaining the parts of Door County that they love – and to alleviating the social issues arising from their unique seasonal economy.
