The Boulder Junction Community Foundation can help individuals, families, nonprofits, and businesses achieve their philanthropic goals. Setting up a named charitable fund is easy and can be completed in less than a day. Whatever you giving goals might be, the Boulder Junction Community Foundation can create a fund to help you make the most of your philanthropy.

Endowment Fund

Your gift helps us invest in the future of Boulder Junction. This fund is managed, invested, and kept in perpetuity to provide earnings for the benefit of charitable causes in Boulder Junction. The fund is held and managed by the Community Foundation of North Central Wisconsin, which manages over $75 M of foundation funds in northcentral Wisconsin. Grants are available bi-annually through this fund to enhance Boulder Junction for present and future generations. Our goal is to raise $1 M in funds, which will enable the Foundation to give $40,000 back to the community each year, forever.

Greatest Needs Fund

Your gift will address ever-changing community needs ‒ including future needs that often cannot be anticipated when your gift is made. We evaluate all aspects of community wellbeing: arts and culture, economic development, education, environment, health and human services, neighborhood revitalization, and more. The flexibility of your unrestricted gift enables the Boulder Junction Community Foundation’s program experts to respond to the community’s most pressing needs, today, and tomorrow.

Fiscal Sponsorship Funds

We enable you to begin accepting tax-deductible contributions for the viability of a short-term community project for possible long-term implementation.

Donor Advised Funds

You have ongoing involvement in how your gift is used to support charitable causes. You recommend grants to qualified nonprofits. Our professional board members are available to help identify issues and needs you care about most. We also handle all due diligence, ensuring nonprofits are in good standing. Your recommendations are submitted to our board for approval. We then distribute grant dollars. Donor Advised Funds are a tremendous philanthropic tool for individuals, families, and businesses.

Designated Funds

You can direct your gift to a specific nonprofit organization or purpose. Help provide ongoing funding for our senior housing, local museum, or virtually any nonprofit close to your heart. The fund provides a steady and reliable source of annual support. The organization can use a Designated Fund through the Boulder Junction Community Foundation to build their endowment and enhance their ability to accept large and complex gifts.

Field of Interest Funds

You can target your gift to address needs in the area of community life that is most important to you: arts, environment, youth or aging, etc. Identify your area of interest when making a gift. Our board members monitor the needs of the community and award grants to charitable causes that are making a difference in the area you select.
