Now, a quarter century later, the WCCF has grown to nearly <strong>$60 million<\/strong> in endowed assets. Through the years, the WCCF has distributed more than <strong>$73 million<\/strong> in grants to nonprofits in Waukesha County and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"527\" src=\"https:\/\/waukeshafoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-8-1024x527.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4644\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.9430740037950665;width:944px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/waukeshafoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-8-1024x527.png 1024w, https:\/\/waukeshafoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-8-300x154.png 300w, https:\/\/waukeshafoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-8-768x395.png 768w, https:\/\/waukeshafoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-8.png 1291w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>To celebrate this milestone, the WCCF is partnering with local organizations to host community conversations on housing, corporate philanthropy, and its history.
