The Clintonville Area Foundation is seeking applications for its Community Fund to improve the quality of life for residents of the Clintonville Area School District.

Grants from the Clintonville Area Foundation’s Community Fund come from fundraising activities and unrestricted funds that donors established intending that the boards of the CAF and the Community Foundation determine the best ways to use the grant money to meet ongoing community needs. 

In addition to the list of activities below that CAF has traditionally funded, this year, the Foundation will consider COVID - 19 crisis response activities and requests for unrestricted/general operating support to help sustain services important to Clintonville residents.

• Creative new activities or services: New programs, one-time projects, events, exhibits, studies or surveys.
• Enhancement or strengthening of existing activities: Projects to enhance, expand or strengthen the range, quantity and/or quality of an organization’s programs and services.
• Small capital investments: Items that are directly related to program delivery or service to clients, such as a refrigerator for a food pantry or equipment to comply with ADA requirements.
• Recurring events: Exhibits, presentations, performances or non-fundraising events that occur on a periodic basis. Grants for recurring events typically will not exceed $2,500 annually per organization for a maximum of three years.
