The mission of the Racine Community Foundation is to support the people of Racine County by providing funding to Racine County's hard working nonprofit organizations and students, and responsibly stewarding its endowment and all gifts entrusted to it to continue to partner with its donors to provide funding in perpetuity.
Over the last several decades the foundation has increased its endowment to over $75 million and is now able to award over $2.5 million in grants every year to local nonprofits.
Pedagogy of the Oppressed, a 1970s book by author Paulo Freire, envisions a world not as a given reality, but as “a problem to be worked on and solved.” That mentality is often applied to the greatest social entrepreneurs.
