About The Fox Cares Foundation
Established in 2016, the Fox Cares Foundation is a fundraising initiative which addresses three needs we believe help form the basis of a physically and emotionally healthy community.
Ending Homelessness …
because no person should have to go without a place to call home.
Fighting Hunger …
because no community thrives when some go hungry.
Providing Access to the Arts …
because expression through the arts brings beauty to the community at large.
Guided by Fox Communities Credit Union and created to help members “contribute with confidence”. The foundation provides a simple way to provide donations that will be managed responsibly and directed to reputable charitable nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations providing the resources people need to overcome the challenges they’re facing throughout the communities Fox Communities Credit Union serves.

Funding For The Fox Cares Foundation
More than a path to or for charity, Fox Cares is a platform for assistance and advocacy; a way for our members to support organizations helping people throughout Northeast Wisconsin discover the security of a warm home, the stability of a warm meal, and the freedom to share the warmth in their hearts through art. In addition to donations from members, our staff and community, the foundation is supported by proceeds from fundraising events sponsored by Fox Communities Credit Union.
