The Norfolk Area Community Foundation Fund aims to shape the future of the Norfolk area by growing a permanent endowment to continue making a difference in people's lives, inspiring a thriving community where giving back is a priority, and partnering with others to foster teamwork and a culture of giving. They emphasize fairness, reliability, integrity, and respect in their dealings with donors, recipients, and the community.
The Brown County Community Fund has a broad goal of promoting progress and long-term prosperity within the community. It operates through a volunteer Fund Advisory Committee that actively works to increase charitable giving. The grants awarded target local worthy causes and projects that address emerging needs and future opportunities. The fund supports full-circle health care from youth to elderly, recreational opportunities, infrastructure support, and encourages youth involvement with the ultimate goal of making Brown County a desired place to live, work, and prosper.
