Thank you to the Waukesha County Community Foundation for awarding CAC a $7,000 Community Grant to support families facing housing instability in Waukesha through our Safe and Stable Homes program! 💙

We’re grateful to be among the 36 nonprofits receiving support and to the Foundation’s Board of Directors, Grants Review Committee, and generous donors for helping families in our community build a more stable future.

Together, we can help more families find safety, stability, and a place to call home.

Today was a reminder of what this community can do. 💙

We are so grateful to everyone who joined us at our tenth annual Giving Forward Breakfast this morning. Even with an early start time and some traffic delays, the room was filled to the brim with sponsors, donors, nonprofits, and foundation partners who care deeply about Waukesha County.

We are proud to award $304,230 in Community Grants, the largest amount in our history, to 36 nonprofits serving our community.
