Fund for Buhler

Our most notable source of grants, the Fund for Buhler, is an unrestricted grantmaking fund that allows us to address the ever-changing needs of the community. The application process represents the one time of year that foundation representatives - board members, community representatives and staff - hear directly from the community about innovative solutions and critical needs in our community. Each summer we select and fund programs ranging from health and human services to the arts to parks and nature. We also administer grants that focus on specific areas of interest.

Until now, grants have been small but mighty, but in years to come, they will be large and far-reaching. Each, though, represents a new approach or collaboration; a new efficiency for an established organization; a critical need that requires “just in time” funding; or an opportunity that needs just that bit of local support to leverage great resources for our community.
