Organizations Filed Purposes:
WE STRENGTHEN OUR COMMUNITY BY OFFERING DONORS OPPORTUNITIES TO ESTABLISH CHARITABLE LEGACIES, BY MAKING GRANTS, AND BY SERVING AS A CATALYST TO ADDRESS COMMUNITY NEEDS.
TO ESTABLISH ENDOWED FUNDS THAT WILL BENEFIT THE EAU CLAIRE COMMUNITY TODAY AND IN THE FUTURE.
THE EAU CLAIRE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION FULFILLED THE GRANTMAKING PORTION OF ITS MISSION IN 2019 BY AWARDING $2,508,843 IN GRANTS, WHICH INCLUDES $63,109 IN AGENCY FUND GRANTS AND $1,176,000 IN SUPPORT OF THE PABLO CENTER FOR THE ARTS. WHILE MANY OF THESE GRANTS WERE RECOMMENDED BY DONOR ADVISORS TO NONPROFITS ALL OVER THE U.S., $146,989 WENT DIRECTLY TO EAU CLAIRE AREA NONPROFITS THROUGH ECCF'S COMPETITIVE GRANT CYCLE. AN ADDITIONAL $47,210 SUPPORTED LOCAL NONPROFITS THROUGH THE GRANT CYCLE IMPLEMENTED BY THE WOMEN'S GIVING CIRCLE, A FUND OF ECCF. THESE GRANTS SUPPORTED PROGRAMS DESIGNED TO MEET COMMUNITY NEEDS AS WELL AS ASSET PURCHASES THAT ENHANCED NONPROFITS' ABILITIES TO SERVE THEIR CLIENTS. ECCF'S SUPPORT OF LOCAL NONPROFITS IS HELPING TO ENHANCE THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN THE EAU CLAIRE AREA.ECCF'S MISSION ALSO INCLUDES "OFFERING DONORS OPPORTUNITIES TO ESTABLISH CHARITABLE LEGACIES." IN ADDITION TO ECCF'S MORE THAN 260 EXISTING FUNDS, ECCF WORKED WITH DONORS TO ESTABLISH NEW FUNDS IN 2019, INCLUDING THE STORY BUILDER CAMPAIGN FOR THE L.E. PHILLIPS MEMORIAL PUBLIC LIBRARY EXPANSION AND THE FIT FOR THE FUTURE FUND, WHICH SUPPORTS THE EXPANSION OF THE L.E. PHILLIPS SENIOR CENTER. DONOR ADVISED FUNDS, SUCH AS THE NEW LASKER JEWELERS STAR OF HOPE FOUNDATION FUND, ALLOW FUND HOLDERS TO RECOMMEND GRANTS TO NONPROFITS OF THEIR CHOICE, WHILE FIELD OF INTEREST FUNDS ALLOW FUND HOLDERS TO SUPPORT SPECIFIC AREAS OF INTEREST. FOR EXAMPLE, THE NEW LOUIS & JANET FRASE FUND SUPPORTS CHILDREN'S PROGRAMS. ECCF ALSO ALLOWS DONORS TO CREATE OTHER TYPES OF FUNDS, INCLUDING UNRESTRICTED FUNDS TO SUPPORT LOCAL NONPROFITS THROUGH THE COMPETITIVE GRANT CYCLE AND DESIGNATED SCHOLARSHIP FUNDS TO SUPPORT STUDENTS' POST-SECONDARY EDUCATIONS.ECCF ADDRESSES THE FINAL PORTION OF ITS MISSION--TO SERVE AS A CATALYST TO ADDRESS COMMUNITY NEEDS--BY EDUCATING THE COMMUNITY ABOUT PHILANTHROPIC ISSUES AND OPPORTUNITIES THROUGH EVENTS SUCH AS THE ANNUAL MEETING, PROFESSIONAL ADVISOR EVENT, AND THE FALL EDUCATIONAL EVENT. IN ADDITION TO INFORMING THE PUBLIC ABOUT ECCF AND ITS WORK, THE ANNUAL MEETING ALLOWS DONORS TO CONNECT WITH LOCAL NONPROFITS. IN 2019, REPRESENTATIVES FROM MORE THAN 40 NONPROFITS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET AND EDUCATE POTENTIAL DONORS AS WELL AS TO ACCEPT THEIR GRANT CHECKS. ECCF'S PROFESSIONAL ADVISOR EVENT EDUCATES PROFESSIONAL ADVISORS ABOUT THEIR CLIENTS' CHARITABLE GIVING OPTIONS, WHILE THE FALL EDUCATIONAL EVENT HOSTED BY ECCF'S WOMEN'S GIVING CIRCLE EDUCATES THE PUBLIC ABOUT PRESSING COMMUNITY ISSUES SUCH AS HOMELESSNESS, CYBER-BULLYING, OR ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE. IN 2019, THE TOPIC WAS "ADDICTION: IS IT A PROBLEM IN OUR COMMUNITY?" THROUGH THESE AND OTHER ANNUAL EVENTS, ECCF AIMS TO INCREASE AWARENESS, PHILANTHROPY, AND ACTIVISM IN OUR COMMUNITY.
