How does it work? • Anyone can make a gift, large or small, to the Platteville Community Fund.  Every gift benefits our community.  • Awards from the fund are made through a grant application/review process. Awards are made in response to community needs as determined by the local advisory board/review committee. Grants are issued to enhance art, education, health and human services, environment, and historic preservation.
