CALDWELL PUBLIC LIBRARY

The Whittenberger Foundation is exceedingly proud of its role in helping the city of Caldwell build the current Caldwell Public Library. 

The Foundation's involvement began as as a "Challenge Grant" from the Foundation to the City of Caldwell to get a much needed new library building for Caldwell patrons.  Along the way it  took  additional partnering with the Caldwell School District and formation of the Friends of the Library to make it all work.  The new building was proudly dedicated in 1976 and continues to serve Caldwell patrons of all ages today.

The Caldwell Family YMCA

The Whittenberger Foundation made a significant commitment to the development of the Caldwell Family YMCA.  The Caldwell Family YMCA is a project that few outside of the community thought was possible.  However, through the leadership of Mayor Garret Nancolas, members of Caldwell and surrounding communities and the help of several major donors, including the Foundation, the new YMCA was opened in October of 2005.
