Funds for Greater Green Bay

The Greater Green Bay Community Foundation’s granting programs fund measurable strategies in order to make a positive impact on the quality of life for residents of our community and create a better future for our entire community.  The Community Foundation’s Funds for Greater Green Bay is a competitive granting process which is our most flexible venue for assisting nonprofit organizations.
