Board Members
The Board of Directors of the Community Foundation of Central Wisconsin is a group of community volunteers who work to promote philanthropy throughout all of Central Wisconsin.
The governing board of the Community Foundation is made up of 22 directors. They each serve a three-year term and may serve up to three consecutive terms. Our directors come from a variety of professional fields, and are connected to numerous nonprofit, religious, service and social organizations within the community, usually having held leadership positions.
The directors provide leadership to the Foundation by setting policies, overseeing investments, disbursing grants, identifying community needs, and at times, serving as a catalyst for positive change in the community. All members of the board serve without compensation. They are the Foundation's best ambassadors. Please feel free to contact any one of the directors with your questions, with your ideas or dreams for our community.

As of now, over 150 extraordinary people have served as directors of our Foundation.
We thank all who have helped make our community such a wonderful place
in which to grow, to work, to play and to retire - by helping people, enhancing education, enriching arts and culture, contributing to wellness and improving the environment.
We are all blessed because they said “YES” to service.
