Strengthening organizations that make our communities stronger
Established in 2016, the Fox Cares Foundation is a non-profit organization granting funds to programs that address three needs we believe form the basis of a physically and emotionally healthy community.
In 2025, Fox Cares granted over $160,000 to non-profit programs throughout Northeast Wisconsin.

Fox Cares also gifted $75,000 to support food pantries in response to the growing challenges of food access in the fall of 2025. We made a special donation of $25,000 each to three of our region’s leading food pantries: St. Joseph Food Program in Menasha, Paul’s Pantry in Green Bay and Oshkosh Area Community Pantry.
Funding For The Fox Cares Foundation
More than a path to or for charity, Fox Cares Foundation is a platform for assistance and advocacy. It’s a way for community members to support organizations helping people throughout Northeast Wisconsin discover the security of a warm home, the stability of a warm meal, and the ability to discover and share the joy of the arts.
In addition to donations from community members, the Foundation is supported by proceeds from fundraising events and donation-matching programs sponsored by Fox Communities Credit Union.
Grant Funds
With help from the Community Foundation for the Fox Valley Region, Fox Cares Foundation is able to grant funds to non-profit organizations that support our three areas of focus: easing homelessness and hunger, and providing access to the arts for all.
