Ideal Applicant
A Wisconsin-based nonprofit or program (particularly in Milwaukee/Waukesha) focused on job readiness, work-based learning, youth development, scholarships, or community program sponsorships, with capacity to engage corporate volunteers or report local employment-related outcomes.
Good Fit
- • Programs that advance employment pathways, work-based learning, or job readiness for youth and adults.
- • Clear local impact in Milwaukee or greater Waukesha county.
- • Ability to host or leverage corporate volunteer engagement or sponsorships.
- • Organizational capacity to follow application instructions and meet reporting or scholarship packet requirements.
Geography
Giving is heavily concentrated in Wisconsin: in 2024 roughly 87% of dollars stayed in-state and 95% of grants went to Wisconsin organizations, with only one other state receiving notable support.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 19 distinct grantees across education, job training, youth services and arts, and the foundation funded ten new recipients that year, indicating a broad and diverse recipient set for the funder's size.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of regular new grantees exists (10 new recipients in the latest year), and the foundation publishes application instructions, a scholarship packet process, and a named contact, which together suggest unfamiliar applicants can realistically enter the portfolio.
