Ideal Applicant
Local or regional nonprofits with projects in hunger relief, community tree‑planting/conservation, volunteer/matching gift programs, community development, or youth/STEM outreach that need small to mid‑size project funding and can document scope, timeline and impact.
Good Fit
- • Requests for operating or program support under the foundation’s priorities (food security, tree planting, community programs).
- • Capacity to receive small recurring matching or volunteer grants as well as occasional larger program grants.
- • Geographic presence or program activity in Iowa or Wisconsin (or in the foundation’s broader multi‑state footprint).
- • Willingness to describe project details, timeline, goals and budget per the Giving for Good instructions.
Geography
Observed grants in the latest year span about 20 states with significant activity concentrated in Iowa and Wisconsin (roughly 45% and 41% of dollars respectively), and a majority of dollars flowing outside the foundation state.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows a very large and diverse recipient set (869 distinct organizations in 2023) including many independent nonprofits and government recipients; financial concentration is modest (top recipient ~11%, top five ~34%).
New Applicants
Direct evidence of turnover exists (about 251 new grantees in 2023, roughly 29% of recipients) and a public application route with published instructions and named program contacts is available, supporting realistic entry for unfamiliar applicants.
