Ideal Applicant
A nonprofit working in Northeast Wisconsin (or serving Brown County/Green Bay region) with programs in human services, education, health, housing, or community improvement seeking general program or project support.
Good Fit
- • Clear local/regional impact in Northeast Wisconsin or Brown County.
- • Program-level requests in common funded ranges (many grants in the $10K–$250K range, with occasional larger awards).
- • Measurable community outcomes and alignment with community improvement, health, education, or basic needs priorities.
- • Willingness to contact the Community Impact Team in advance and participate in local partnership conversations.
Geography
Observed giving is strongly state-focused: about 90% of dollars stayed in Wisconsin in 2024, though recipients across 23 states appear in the record, so the footprint is primarily state/regional rather than national.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows a large and diverse recipient set (330 distinct recipients and 347 grants in 2024) across human services, education, health, housing and arts, with substantial turnover and many independent organizations funded.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of entry exists: roughly 164 new recipients were funded in 2024 (about half of recipients), and the foundation publishes staff contacts and an online nonprofit portal with instructions to discuss requests before applying, indicating realistic pathways for unfamiliar applicants.
