Community Foundation

Get to know us and our impact on the Village.

The Elm Grove Community Foundation is an official 501c3 nonprofit organization, established in 1999 to enrich our village by providing a way for Elm Grove residents and friends to support our community's institutions, facilities, and services. Through generous donations from community members, the Foundation has enhanced the quality of life in our Village by supporting numerous community projects and activities. Please browse through our website and explore projects we’ve supported, learn about our grant process, and how to make a contribution.

The Elm Grove Community Foundation was conceived and organized for the purpose of affording a means by which Elm Grove residents and friends could aid the community in its efforts to maintain high quality institutions, facilities and programs that make Elm Grove such a wonderful place in which to live, work, and play. Since 1999, the Foundation has contributed to or funded projects with over $120,000 in grants that have been used to enhance the village park, the downtown business district, and the lives of our village residents and visitors. We are honored to be a small part of keeping the Grove a special place.
