Cj Lomas Recovery Foundation
The CJ Lomas Recovery Foundation (EIN 36-4729463) was formed by the Lomas family in March 2012 after the loss of their son CJ and provides family support meetings, community outreach, education in schools, and an annual golf outing to raise funds. The site states donations are used to assist individuals with inpatient treatment, detox, sober living, and recovery organizations and lists a contact email for meeting information.

Ideal Applicant
A small or mid-sized Wisconsin nonprofit providing addiction treatment, sober living, detox, or recovery support with a demonstrated local track record.
Good Fit
- • Organization is based in Wisconsin and serves people in the state.
- • Programs focus on inpatient treatment, detox, sober living, or recovery services.
- • Request size aligns with observed grants (from several hundred to tens of thousands).
- • Has local community credibility or referral relationships with other recovery providers.
Geography
All observed grants from 2022–2024 went to organizations located in Wisconsin; no out-of-state recipients were recorded.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded nine distinct recipients in 2024 and supported roughly 8–12 unique local recovery providers across the observed years, showing a moderate breadth of independent grantees despite dollar concentration in a few larger awards.
New Applicants
Direct recipient turnover is mixed: 2023 included many new grantees while 2024 added only one new recipient; the foundation publishes application guidance and a named contact, so new applicants can approach, but selection appears relationship- and mission-driven rather than broadly open.
