Building strong communities by easing hunger & homelessness, and cultivating the arts for all.

About The Fox Cares Foundation

Established in 2016, the Fox Cares Foundation is a fundraising initiative that addresses three needs we believe help form the basis of a physically and emotionally healthy community.

Easing Homelessness …

because no person should have to go without a place to call home.

Easing Hunger …

because no community thrives when some go hungry.

Cultivating the Arts for All …

because expression through the arts brings beauty to the community at large.

Created by Fox Communities Credit Union to help community members “contribute with confidence,” the foundation provides a simple way to make 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 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 freedom to share the warmth in their hearts through art. In addition to donations from community members, the foundation is supported by proceeds from fundraising events sponsored by Fox Communities Credit Union, such as Bike to the Beat and their team member silent auction.
