For 15 years, Rock County Cancer Coalition has helped local families stay in their homes during cancer treatment — covering housing and utility costs while they focus on healing. More than $2.3 million in direct assistance, and counting.

With a $7,500 Community Impact Grant from CFSW, RCCC is now building the strategic foundation to sustain that work long-term.

We're proud to support organizations like RCCC that quietly, consistently show up for our neighbors when it matters most.

Good nutrition is foundational to health — but for rural residents in Grant County, access to dietitians and diabetes education has been limited.

Grant Regional Health Center is changing that. With a $10,000 Community Impact Grant from CFSW, GRHC will upgrade its kitchen and expand nutrition education and diabetes prevention programs for the patients and community members who need them most.

Seventy-plus years of serving southwest Wisconsin — and still building. We're proud to support this work.

We have a new face at the Foundation.

Andrew Galauner joined our donor services team on October 26 as a Donor Services Representative serving Rock, Walworth, and southern Dane counties. He’s based in our Janesville office and will be working with donors and advisory boards across the region, helping people put their giving to work for causes they care about.

He comes to us from YWCA Rock County, where he spent four years building community partnerships and working with donors and organizations across the area. The Greater Beloit Chamber named him Paulette Christensen Ambassador of the Year in 2025.

We’re glad he’s here. Full story in the comments — and drop Andrew a welcome while you’re there! 👋

Every child deserves a place to learn and grow — and every family deserves access to quality care.

Vernon Area Rehabilitation Center is making that possible in Viroqua. With a $5,500 Community Impact Grant from CFSW, VARC will help launch Bumble & Bloom: an inclusive early childhood center where children of all abilities — including those with disabilities, sensory needs, and developmental differences — learn and play together.

Sixty to eighty children will be served each year in a space designed specifically to meet their needs.

Southwest Wisconsin needs more teachers and healthcare workers. CESA 3 is helping build the pipeline.

With a $10,000 Community Impact Grant from CFSW, CESA 3 will work with 150 rural juniors and seniors preparing for careers in healthcare and education — teaching them the resilience, empathy, and purpose that make for lasting, meaningful careers in communities that need them.

Investing in these students today means healthier, better-served communities down the road. We're proud to be part of that work.

Grants in action.

Grants from the Janesville Generations Fund and our Community Impact Fund helped the Janesville Fire Department bring PulsePoint to our community in 2025. This month, a nurse used it to respond to a cardiac arrest.

Kristen Lindsey has spent 15 years caring for patients at SSM Health. She responded to a PulsePoint alert, a free app that notifies CPR-trained community members when a cardiac arrest is happening nearby and directs them to the closest AED.

Her quick response made the difference.

Watch Kristen’s full interview in the video.

If you’re CPR-trained, PulsePoint is free to download. Share this with someone who should know about it.

Baker’s Dozen is back for 2026.

For many families, the holidays mean more than a meal. They mean gathering, tradition, and the quiet comfort of something made by hand. The Baker’s Dozen Fund exists to make sure more Green County families can share in that.

Donations support baking ingredients and supplies for six local food pantries across Green County: the flour, sugar, butter, spices, and baking equipment that make a holiday recipe possible.

We’re proud to steward this fund, and grateful for every neighbor who gives to it.

Ready to contribute? Donation link is in the comments.

🎅 Psst... Santa has a little secret! 🍪🎄

Baker's Dozen is back for 2026, and we're getting ready to spread some holiday magic across Green County!

The holidays are a time for giving, and with a little help from our amazing community, we can bring smiles, sweetness, and Christmas cheer to local families. ❤️

You don't need to be Santa to make someone's Christmas a little brighter!
