Ideal Applicant
A Wisconsin-based school, library, youth-serving nonprofit, or community organization seeking a modest project grant or scholarship funding, especially for classroom materials, STEM equipment, or student awards.
Good Fit
- • Organization is located in Wisconsin or serves Wisconsin communities.
- • Request is for classroom materials, STEM kits, instruments, computers, or small capital items.
- • Project or scholarship has a clear, itemized budget and fits a quarterly application cycle.
- • Applicant can use the foundation's online form or submit by the provided letter/contact route.
Geography
Observed giving is geographically narrow and focused in Wisconsin; in 2024 all recorded grants remained in-state and the foundation's recent history shows almost exclusively Wisconsin recipients.
Recipient Variety
The foundation consistently funds many distinct independent recipients each year (historical recipient counts roughly 44–131 and 61 distinct recipients in 2024), covering schools, libraries, YMCAs and local charities, so the portfolio is broad in institutional variety despite occasional dollar concentration.
New Applicants
Direct evidence supports entry by unfamiliar applicants: the foundation documents an online application and quarterly cycles, provides contact routes, and has funded many new organizations in prior years (for example ~96 new in 2023 and 35 new in 2024).
