Partnering to Create Solutions
The Greater Green Bay Community Foundation partners with local nonprofits, schools, government agencies, and other philanthropies to strengthen our community. Our primary service areas include Brown, Kewaunee, and Oconto counties, with some opportunities extending into other parts of Northeast Wisconsin.
Here are some tools we offer to support your work:
With nine competitive grants programs, we connect resources to organizations dedicated to doing good.
Impact Investing uses charitable assets to fund opportunities that produce social benefits and achieve a financial return.
We offer philanthropic services to support your organization. These services include:
Agency funds are a simple way for your organization to build an ongoing source of income to support its mission and provide an easy way for donors to contribute.
Project funds are established for fundraising purposes such as capital campaigns or special events. We provide back-office services and investment practices to support the project goals.
We work alongside nonprofits promoting their causes, empowering their development, and advocating for their needs.
Doing things differently
Launched in 2018, Give BIG Green Bay is a community-wide giving day that provides nonprofits serving Brown County with a platform to tell their stories, educate the community about their work, and reach new donors. More than $17 million has been generated by the event so far and it continues to spur a year-round environment of nonprofit partnership, encouragement, and catalytic growth.

Empowering nonprofit development
