Racine Community Foundation: Past Projects

To make things happen, the Racine Community Foundation partners with other community agencies and organizations. Examples of past projects include:

Leadership Racine—This program, run through the Racine Area Manufacturers and Commerce, trains the next generation of community leaders by introducing them to the many facets of the community. The Racine Community Foundation, United Way of Racine County and Racine Area Manufacturers and Commerce collaborated to launch this program.
OIC—The Opportunities Industrialization Center of Racine County, Inc. provides training to improve employment opportunities for economically disadvantaged, unemployed and underemployed people.
Regional Leadership Conference—This joint leadership conference connects participants in Leadership Kenosha, Leadership Racine, Leadership Union Grove and the Latino Non-Profit Leadership Program of the UW-Milwaukee Roberto Hernandez Cardinal Stritch University Leadership Center.
Watershed Initiative Network—The Racine Community Foundation, with a grant from the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, helped launch this successful environmental organization. WIN now operates as a stand-alone non-profit organization, working to protect the integrity of the land, water and air resources while protecting the regional economy.

In each case, funding and leadership from the Racine Community Foundation helped make these projects a success.
