Community Impact Fund
A community-focused fund created to strengthen Jackson County for generations to come by responding proactively to urgent and growing needs throughout the year.
Growing Our Future
The Black River Falls Area Foundation is launching the NEW Community Impact Fund, a community-focused fund created to strengthen Jackson County for generations to come. Distinct from the current FRIENDS of the Foundation program which reviews community-submitted grants once annually; this fund will serve communities in a proactive way throughout the whole year. Foundation staff and trustees will seek out, review and actively evaluate urgent and growing community needs through consistent community involvement, active assessments, and collaboration. The fund will provide ongoing resources through investment to support the Foundation’s mission year after year. Continued contributions will allow the fund to grow and expand its impact over time.
Lead the Way
In honor of our 40th year, we have set an initial startup goal to raise $400,000 for the NEW Community Impact Fund. We invite you to help kickstart the fund with a gift. By investing in this new fund, you help ensure there will be an available source of funding year-round for the Foundation to support Jackson County. Every commitment moves us closer to a future where local resources are available when our communities need them most. No matter what inspires your giving, supporting youth, strengthening families, protecting natural resources, enriching the arts, or improving the quality of life throughout our rural communities, your gift to the Community Impact Fund will become part of something meaningful and
