Appleton, WI (June 25, 2026) |
Fox Communities Credit Union is helping extend the impact of Fox Cares Foundation by providing a $25,000 dollar-for-dollar matching gift, doubling donations made during the Foundation’s anniversary campaign that will run through August 9.
Founded in 2016 by Fox Communities Credit Union, Fox Cares Foundation was created to expand the positive impact that giving can have across our communities, and to provide a trusted way for team members, members, and supporters to give back with confidence. Since then, the Foundation has directed more than $850,000 to nonprofit programs across Eastern Wisconsin that work to end homelessness, fight hunger, and expand access to the arts.
Last year alone, Fox Cares Foundation supported 33 nonprofit organizations across the region. That support included providing $25,000 grants to three major food pantries in response to significant food access challenges during the fall—one example of how the Foundation invests in programs that meet urgent needs while creating lasting impact.
The matching campaign comes as Fox Cares Foundation marks 10 years of strengthening communities and looks ahead to continuing that work into the future.
“Fox Cares Foundation was created to turn generosity into stronger communities,” said Amanda Brown, Executive Director and a founding member of Fox Cares Foundation. “With more than $850,000 invested since 2016, we’ve seen what’s possible when donors trust us to put their gifts to work where they matter most. This matching gift from Fox Communities Credit Union gives us an opportunity to build on that momentum and help every donation go even further.”
Through Fox Cares Foundation, donors are able to support community impact without having to research where their dollars should go. The Foundation’s volunteer board carefully reviews funding opportunities to ensure gifts support programs delivering real, measurable change for individuals and families.
“Fox Communities Credit Union created Fox Cares Foundation to deepen our commitment to the communities we serve,” said Chris Allen, President and CEO, Fox Communities Credit Union. “With a $25,000 match, we're inviting others to help carry this work forward—building stronger communities together.”
Gifts made during the campaign will support Fox Cares Foundation’s ongoing grantmaking and nonprofit program investments throughout Eastern Wisconsin. Community members can contribute through one-time or recurring gifts, with all donations eligible for the match until the $25,000 goal is reached or the campaign concludes.
