>> Grant Programs
The St. Croix Valley Foundation’s grants programs are the result of the generosity of many wonderful donors who want to serve the people and the communities of the St. Croix Valley and to maintain the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway and the region's natural beauty. We rely on donors’ gifts to grow these and other funds to meet the ever-changing needs of our area. A gift made immediately, or through bequests or other planned giving instruments, becomes a lasting resource to fund projects and programs now and for generations to come.
Presently SCVF awards grants through the following grant programs:
Valley Arts Initiative. Projects that increase public understanding of, and access to, an array of artistic activities. - Due Oct. 3, 2011
