Welcome
Donate NowThe Greater Green Bay Community Foundation serves Brown, Kewaunee, and Oconto counties. Since 1991, we’ve been connecting people and resources to organizations and programs that strengthen our community, improve our quality of life, and make northeastern Wisconsin a great place to live, work, and play. Through our work, we have built a community endowment to support local non-profit organizations and important community initiatives. We invite you to learn more about us, our granting programs, and how you can become a donor.

Support Our Local Arts & Culture
Arts and Culture programming creates a high quality of life for our local community and the audiences they attract contribute to the overall economy. Arts and culture are important for personal and community enrichment, to bring joy, beauty, new perspectives, richness, and innovative ideas to all aspects of community life, and they are central to human development from early childhood. Because of the importance of a healthy arts and cultural life, GGBCF is raising funds to create a Field of Interest Fund for community arts and culture. Learn more.
