Winnebago Waterways Funding

Thank you to everyone who has and is currently contributing to the efforts of the Winnebago Waterways Program! We extend our sincere appreciation to the organizations for their contributions and we invite you to support these community-minded organizations.

We also have received generous support from individuals through donations, membership dues and volunteer time.

Intergovernmental Cooperation Agreement

The Winnebago Waterways is a program of the Fox-Wolf Watershed Alliance. Base funding for the program comes from an Intergovernmental Cooperation Agreement between Calumet County, Fond du Lac, Waushara and Winnebago Counties. The agreement formalizes the counties commitment to work together to support and promote beautification, restoration, promotion and general upkeep of the waters that comprise the lakes of the Winnebago Waterways.
