Mutual Ground Receives Community Foundation Grant For Roof Repairs

Mutual Ground, Inc. is pleased to announce the notification of a grant award from the Community Foundation of the Fox River Valley in the amount of $18,050. This approved grant will allow Mutual Ground to make much-needed repairs to the roof at their shelter and offices.

“On behalf of Mutual Ground and its Board of Directors, I would like to thank the Community Foundation of the Fox River Valley for their recent grant for roof repairs at our facility.  Mutual Ground serves hundreds of area residents who have experienced domestic or sexual violence, including more than 200 women and children who reside at our shelter annually.   In order for Mutual Ground to better serve our clients through shelter, counseling, and other means of support, these roof repairs are a necessity,” said Michelle Meyer, Executive Director.

Mutual Ground has been providing education, awareness, and life-changing services that empower individuals, families, and communities to end the cycle of domestic and sexual violence for more than 42 years.  The agency serves southern Kane and all of Kendall County.

The Community Foundation of the Fox River Valley is a non-profit, tax-exempt, philanthropic organization that administers individual charitable funds from which grants and scholarships are distributed to benefit the citizens of the Greater Aurora Area, the TriCities and Kendall County, Illinois.

Founded in 1948, the Foundation provides a simple and powerful approach to charitable giving. Individuals, families, businesses and organizations have the opportunity to custom design their own named funds that reflect their charitable goals and interests. Since its inception, the Community Foundation has grown to more than $80 million in assets and has awarded more than $63 million in grants and scholarships.

…you can always start small, even $25 can make a difference. Remember we can’t take our money with us. Even if it’s just your gift of time. Volunteer and get involved.

Past Scholarship Recipient & Current Leadership Coach

As a first-generation college student from a low-income family, I was worried about how I was going to pay for books and supplies. This scholarship will allow me to focus more on my studies instead of worrying about how to afford college. I am working to not only create opportunities for myself but to motivate future generations. Thank you so much for helping me along this journey!
