The Shorewood Foundation

Since 1964, the Shorewood Foundation has been dedicated to enhancing the culture, beauty, quality of life and neighborhood spirit of the Village of Shorewood through community support. Thanks to contributions large and small, the Foundation is committed to ensuring that Shorewood, Wisconsin, remains a special place to live, work and visit.

100% of funds raised through the Foundation are invested into Shorewood.

When you give to the Foundation, your tax-deductible contribution is an investment in the place we call home.

To celebrate the launch of the new Shorewood Foundation website and logo, we’re inviting the community to join us for Spot It Shorewood — a Village-wide scavenger hunt designed to get residents exploring Shorewood, supporting local businesses, and having fun along the way.
