We’re here For Good. And we’re here Forever.
From 2011 to 2013, the Community Foundation quietly worked to secure $2.5 million in contributions to launch the For Good Forever Fund – our general endowment for Door County. This permanent pool of money is a flexible resource to fund our community impact grant program, invest in community projects, and support future programs of the Community Foundation.
This effort also ensured the financial viability of the Community Foundation forevermore. As a result of these gifts, along with our other sources of earned revenue, the Community Foundation has no need to ask the people of Door County to make gifts to support our administrative operations. Henceforth, all gifts are entirely used to support charitable work in the community.
While we are grateful for all the donors who contributed to this effort, the Community Foundation would like to extend a special word of thanks to those who made truly exceptional gifts:
Albert & Nancy Nicholas
Dick & Annie Egan
Betsy Guenzel
Lee Traven
John & Nell Herlache

We deeply appreciate the wonderful generosity of these great Door County philanthropists. As a result of their generosity, the Community Foundation is here For Good. And we’re here Forever.
