The mission of the Racine Community Foundation is to support the people of Racine County by providing funding to Racine County's hard working nonprofit organizations and students, and responsibly stewarding its endowment and all gifts entrusted to it to continue to partner with its donors to provide funding in perpetuity.
Over the last several decades the foundation has increased its endowment to over $75 million and is now able to award over $2.5 million in grants every year to local nonprofits.
