Ideal Applicant
A small local nonprofit or civic group in north‑central Wisconsin seeking modest operating or project support (food pantries, volunteer fire departments, churches, arts, youth programs, scholarships).
Good Fit
- • Organization is based in north‑central Wisconsin or serves that community.
- • Request is for a modest amount (typically hundreds to a few thousand dollars).
- • Funding need is for general operating support, local community projects, facilities, or scholarships.
- • Can submit a short letter and provide an IRS exempt status certificate.
- • Has some local visibility or prior informal relationship with the company/foundation community.
Geography
Giving is heavily concentrated in the foundation's home state, with roughly 93% of dollars staying in Wisconsin despite a few out‑of‑state gifts; the observed footprint is effectively local to north‑central Wisconsin.
Recipient Variety
The latest year funded 49 distinct recipients across churches, food pantries, fire departments, arts groups and other local charities, and three years of data show both repeat grantees (31) and frequent new entrants, indicating a broad and diverse recipient set for the foundation's size.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of new grantees exists (18 new recipients in the latest year) and the foundation publishes contact instructions on its website plus a letter submission route, so unfamiliar applicants appear plausibly able to enter the portfolio.
