Grants and Scholarships

General Fund

The General Fund is designed to serve community needs through a perpetual fund. The most flexible of La Crosse Community Foundation funds, it can respond quickly to changing community needs.

How to apply

If the organization and/or project meets basic criteria and needs of the community, an application will be sent to the nonprofit 501(c)3 organization seeking grant support.

Contact the Foundation at: (608) 782-3223 ext. 2 or by email to request an application.

Mini-grants

Agencies who have projects less than $5,000 may apply for a Foundation mini-grant. Agencies may apply for mini-grants regardless if they have applied for a general fund grant in the same year.

Applications will be reviewed at quarterly board meetings.

Contact the Foundation at: (608) 782-3223 ext. 2 or by email to request an application.
