Each fund, guided by a local volunteer advisory board, focuses on responding to the evolving needs of the community by distributing grants to various projects and programs.
The New Glarus Community Foundation grant program is designed to support a wide range of causes that benefit the community of New Glarus. Its broad goals are to enrich the community through financial support in diverse domains such as the arts, education, health care, services for both youth and the elderly, environmental sustainability, and the preservation of historical sites. Specific funds like the Dr. Fred W. & Alice J. Kundert Charitable Fund and the Anonymous II Fund have been established under its umbrella to align with the donor's charitable intentions for the community.
