Progress Grants

Do you have a dream for something better in your neighborhood?

Something that will benefit your entire village, township or city?

Community groups and nonprofits may apply for a Progress Grant to support unique community improvement projects or programs as identified by residents. Local citizens serving on Progress Fund committees set grant guidelines, accept applications, and award grants to improve their own community.

Each of the following seven communities has its own committee made up of local residents: Nekoosa Area; Pittsville Area; Port Edwards; Rome; Rudolph; Vesper Area, and Wisconsin Rapids, Biron, Grand Rapids Area.

For complete details, download the application form for your community.
