The Rusk County Community Foundation (RCCF) has long been a fixture in Rusk County celebrating its 15th anniversary in 2022. Our 35 Funds have issued over $600,000 in grants during that time. In 2023, RCCF merged with the Eau
Claire Community Foundation (ECCF) to leverage the combined expertise, energy, and relationships as an affiliate. The new affiliation between ECCF and RCCF will allow both Foundations to serve their communities even better by pooling logistical and financial resources.
As partners with ECCF, donors have the same charitable opportunities and flexibility to donate toward special projects or areas of interest. They may also direct their gifts to where community needs are greatest, as identified from time to time by the RCCF Board of Directors. We are here to support nonprofit organizations, schools, churches, and other charitable causes in the county. Together we grow.
Our Mission: To improve the quality of life in Rusk County through permanent endowments and grant giving.
Our Vision: The Rusk County Community Foundation is a leading resource, supporting local non-profit organizations and their missions for community improvement and development.
Our Purpose: To bring together people who care for causes that matter by gathering, managing and distributing resources to meet needs in Rusk County.
