About Welz Family Children’s Foundation

The Welz Family Children’s Foundation (WFCF) was created in 1998 by Lenda Welz to Enhance the Health, Education, and/or Welfare of Minor Children of Nevada County. Since our inception we have given out close to 1/2 million dollars. 

The board meets once a month (currently by Zoom) for approximately an hour to conduct Foundation business, and fellowship. Once a year we give out grants totaling $20 – $25 thousand to programs that address child welfare needs. At the board’s discretion, we also sponsor fund raising events and provide funding for things like ribbon at the fair and Christmas gifts for families.
