Give Now

Most Pressing Needs
The needs of most nonprofit organizations are ever changing and sometimes unpredictable. Donations in this category help the Watertown Community Foundation meet those needs throughout the year.

WCF Youth Council
The Youth Council awards grants which focus on helping their peers. Donations here may go toward school supplies, Special Olympics, Miss Click-it, Big Brothers Big Sisters and so on.

WCF Women & Giving
The Women & Giving steering committee awards grants that primarily aid women and children. The Smile Mobile visit, Coats for Kids, the Lake Area Technical Institute Educare Center, Boys & Girls Club, and Watertown (formerly Women’s) Resource Center, as well as scholarships, have all been past recipients.

Art/Culture/Education
The Watertown Community Foundation has always been a strong proponent of the arts, culture and education. Monies here may go to Town Players, Lake Area Zoological Society, the Glacial Lakes Humane Society and other local organizations, as well as helping to bring programs and concerts to Watertown. Scholarships also fall into this category.

An Organization You Can Trust

The Watertown Community Foundation invests in the vitality and future of Watertown by supporting community priorities, responding to human service needs and enhancing recreation, education, arts and culture.

It does this by:

Leadership and forward thinking
Promoting philanthropy; encouraging, receiving and administering charitable gifts

In awarding grants, the Watertown Community Foundation Board members always keep the WCF mission in mind.
