Visitors stroll down the boardwalk on Crescent Beach in Algoma. The Greater Green Bay Community Foundation awarded a grant to Friends of Crescent Beach, a community volunteer support organization, to help fund restoration and education efforts.

GREEN BAY – Seven nonprofit organizations that offer services in Kewaunee County and one based in Door County were among the recipients of grants announced March 9 from the Greater Green Bay Community Foundation.

The foundation awarded a total of $312,220 to 29 programs and initiatives offered by nonprofits serving Brown, Kewaunee and Oconto counties through its Funds for Greater Green Bay grants program. Four organizations in Kewaunee County will receive more than $30,000 between them, while three other organizations that are receiving grants serve Brown, Kewaunee and Oconto counties.

Also, Midsummer’s Music, a chamber music organization based in Sister Bay that sometimes gives performances itself or through its Griffon String Quartet in Brown County, was awarded funding that will support free and low-cost musical programming for seniors, especially those with Alzheimer's or dementia; youth music education; pop-up concerts; classical programs; and collaborations.

Kewaunee County-based groups that received grants are:

  • Centro de Actividades y Servicios Altruistas, for its afterschool program, English classes for adults and wraparound support for Latino families in the Luxemburg-Casco area.
  • Friends of Crescent Beach, to help expand restoration and water quality improvement efforts of the beach on the Lake Michigan shore in Algoma and support educational opportunities to increase awareness of how the community can protect the beach and its watershed.
  • Friends of the Ahnapee State Trail, to help create a more functional trailhead for the trail users.
  • Literacy Partners of Kewaunee County, to support more planning, in-service training for tutors and a website overhaul to increase and organize online learning tools for both tutors and students.

Northeastern Wisconsin organizations that provide services in Kewaunee County and received grants are:

  • Family & Childcare Resources of Northeastern Wisconsin, to increase the number of childcare slots in Brown, Kewaunee and Oconto counties while reducing the barriers for caregivers to become certified or licensed.
  • Einstein Project, to help expand mobile makerspace programming to provide experiences for approximately 1,000 children in rural communities such as Algoma.
  • Vivent Health, to fund mobile HIV and overdose prevention throughout the three counties, as well as help offer mental health and AODA programs in Green Bay and naloxone administration trainings for area organizations.
