Ideal Applicant
A registered nonprofit serving people with intellectual or physical disabilities or chronic mental-health diagnoses, based in the Greater Milwaukee area (Milwaukee/Waukesha counties) and seeking general operating support or project/capital funding.
Good Fit
- • Programs focused on intellectual/physical disabilities or long-term mental-health support.
- • Located in Milwaukee, Waukesha, or Greater Milwaukee (in-state preference visible).
- • Requesting general operating support or capital/project funding in the $5K–$65K range.
- • Able to submit a formal letter/application with budget, 501(c)(3) letter, and board list via the online portal.

Geography
The observed footprint is heavily Wisconsin-focused: roughly 95% of dollars stayed in the state and the foundation describes a Milwaukee/Waukesha county focus, even though a few out-of-state grants appear.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows a large and diverse recipient set (63 distinct grantees) with many independent organizations funded across three observed years, so the portfolio is broad for the foundation's size.
New Applicants
The foundation publishes application information and uses an online portal, and the giving history shows a notable share of new recipients (15 in the latest year and 20 the year before), indicating that unfamiliar applicants can gain access.
