Join the Effort
Change doesn’t begin in a boardroom — it begins in a room full of neighbors.
At The Grove, we believe community grows through connection. Every conversation, class, support group, and shared celebration plants a seed of belonging. Your investment keeps those seeds thriving — sustaining the programs, partnerships, and local impact that help our region gather, connect, and thrive. Together, we’re building more than events or services — we’re building relationships that last.
Giving that Impacts
Programs that Nurture People
From wellness classes and youth activities to art programs and support groups, your gifts make meaningful experiences accessible for all. Each program at The Grove creates space for growth, healing, and joy — where every participant knows they belong.
Partnerships that Strengthen Community
Your support multiplies through collaboration. The Grove partners with local nonprofits, schools, and civic groups to extend resources, amplify outreach, and bring life-changing support closer to home.
Moments that Matter
A volunteer mentoring a teen.
A neighbor finding friendship through a community meal.
A family connecting with resources during a hard season.
A couple saying 'I Do' with a backdrop of the Black Earth Creek.
Every story begins with someone choosing to invest.
