Every fund in our Giving Grove tells a story: a family honoring a loved one’s memory, a business investing in local students, a neighbor who saw a need and decided to meet it.
Together, these funds represent decades of generosity rooted right here in Portage County — generosity that’s grown into scholarships, grants, and support for the causes our community cares about most.
Explore the funds below to find one you’re looking for, or discover one for the first time. Either way, you’ll see how each is helping Portage County flourish. And if you’re inspired, consider planting a fund of your own.
