Spurred by need during the pandemic, the Community Foundation for the Fox Valley Region gave out more than $30.5 million in grants this year.
The Community Foundation shares that $1.3 million of that came from the COVID-19 Response Fund, which was formed in March.
It’s the second straight year the foundation has gone over the $30 million mark.
A record $1.2 million was awarded in scholarships to students from 60 area high schools.
