The Whitefish Bay Civic Foundation was established to promote the betterment of the Village of Whitefish Bay and its residents. In doing so, the Whitefish Bay Civic Foundation is active in the community by supporting and sponsoring community events, projects, and funding organizations that share the same objectives. Our vision is to undertake projects that lessen the burden to Village government and that follow the mission of the organization.
