Mutual Ground will be getting some much needed building renovations, thanks to a $9,500 grant from the Community Foundation of the Fox River Valley.

Since parts of Mutual Ground’s building date back to the nineteenth century, there is a constant need for building repair and updates. This grant’s projects include redoing the front entryway, replacing the rusted front door and fixing gutters and walls with water issues.

The Community Foundation of the Fox River Valley is a tax-exempt public charity serving the Greater Aurora Area, the Tri Cities and Kendall County that allows individuals, businesses, and other non-profit organizations to establish permanent endowment and temporary funds within the confines of one large foundation. Grants are made to non-profit organizations like Mutual Ground and scholarships are given to area students. For more information call 630-896-7800 or visitwww.CommunityFoundationFRV.org.

Mutual Ground provides free and confidential services for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault through free programs that focus on safety, healing and prevention. For more information, call 630-897-0084 or visit their website: www.mutualground.org.

There’s no question in my mind that the scholarship I received opened up possibilities.

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!

A community foundation is a donor-driven organization that helps donors custom-design funds that reflect their charitable interests. Through the years, grants from these funds have made a significant impact on our local communities.

…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.
