Ideal Applicant

A Wisconsin-based nonprofit (established at least two years) with community-focused programs in education, youth development, community centers, basic needs, health, or arts; able to apply through the foundation's online portal during the published application window.

Good Fit

  • Organization is located in Wisconsin and meets the two-year nonprofit requirement.
  • Project aligns with local community needs (youth programs, schools, community centers, food/homeless services, health, or arts).
  • Request size fits the foundation's range (many awards under $5K and a substantial number of awards in the $5K–$25K range, with occasional larger capital grants).
  • Can submit via the online portal during the stated application period and provide clear program budgets and impact descriptions.

Geography

Restrictive

Giving is heavily concentrated in one state: roughly 98% of dollars went to organizations in the foundation's home state, with only minimal out-of-state awards across a few other states.

Recipient Variety

Broad

The latest year shows a very large and diverse recipient pool (495 distinct recipients and 530 grants), funding many independent organizations across education, youth, arts, health, basic needs, and community facilities.

New Applicants

Broad

Direct evidence supports access by new entrants: 457 new recipients were observed in the latest year and the foundation publishes a public online application window and contact information, so unfamiliar applicants plausibly can enter the portfolio.
