The Greater Green Bay Community Foundation, along with its fundholders, awarded a record $407,655 during the summer cycle of its Funds for Greater Green Bay grants program.
The awards support the work of 40 nonprofit organizations in Brown, Kewaunee, and Oconto counties working across a diverse range of causes — from the arts to community improvement, health, education, the environment and more.
Funds for Greater Green Bay grants are awarded twice a year, and in each cycle, the Community Foundation invites fundholders to co-invest in grant applications that align with their giving goals. Nearly half of the funds awarded this cycle — more than $200,000 — were contributed by community foundation fundholders.
The following area organizations and programs were awarded during the 2025 summer cycle:
• Holy Trinity Oconto Conference of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul | St. Vincent de Paul: Funds will support St. Vincent de Paul in providing critical assistance to individuals and families facing hardship.
• Marinette County Committee on Aging | Oconto County Home Delivered Meals: Funds will support the delivery of hot and frozen meals to homebound older adults in Oconto County.
