Ideal Applicant
A public charity based in Wisconsin (or serving WI communities), typically small‑to‑mid sized, focused on youth programs, community development, food pantry services, local culture or veterans support, seeking one‑time or modest multi‑year grants.
Good Fit
- • Registered public charity status (the foundation restricts to public charities).
- • Clear local or regional service footprint in Wisconsin.
- • Program aligned with youth services, community development, food security, local cultural or civic projects.
- • Request size in the small to mid range (typical grants are mostly under $5K with some up to $17K).
- • Willingness to submit a concise letter of request and use the foundation's cover sheet.
Geography
Giving is heavily Wisconsin‑focused: the latest year shows 98% of grant dollars and 84% of grant count in Wisconsin, with only small out‑of‑state activity across four other states.
Recipient Variety
The latest year funded 43 distinct recipients across youth programs, food pantries, churches, historical preservation, veterans and other local services, with 25 new grantees and 18 returning grantees observed.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of openness includes a public website, posted guidelines and a downloadable cover sheet, plus 25 new grantees in the latest year; together these indicate unfamiliar applicants have a realistic path to funding.
