Gratitude

Annual Report 2019

“Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.”

– Melody Beattie.

The mission of the Racine Community Foundation is to enhance the quality of life for the people of Racine County by encouraging and providing opportunities for charitable giving and by managing and distibuting the funds in a responsible manner. Message Never underestimate small things. Take the two little words thank and you. Together they are powerful. However valuable a gift, whatever the act of kindness – thank you – is an appropriate and priceless response.

Thank you for reading with me, for the homemade scones, for the exquisite bracelet, for the ride to the doctor, for admiring my garden – it was hard work. Thank you for being patient with my father. Thank you for being here.

At our best, we want to do for one another. It’s gratifying to hear that something would have been impossible without our help. It is equally rewarding to accomplish things by working with others.

Focus Story Racine Zoo

The Racine Zoo is one example of what makes our community special. The zoo was founded in 1923 when local businessman, Jacob Stoffel, Jr made a gift of three monkeys to the city. Soon after, a zoo was established in Island Park. Through the years, countless individuals and companies have donated time and financial support creating a home for almost 100 different species from Wisconsin and the world. Each year, more than 125,000 visitors seek out the Racine Zoo, one of 225 nationwide accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums. They marvel at the animals, enjoy the landscape and the splashing fountain; they listen to jazz in the summer and are delighted by the Kiwanis/Wheary Lights during the holidays. Events and camps entertain adults and children. The support of our community that makes all of this possible.

Since 1997 with help from our generous donors, the Foundation has provided grants to the Zoo totaling more than $1.3 million to assist with the daily care and medical
