Ideal Applicant
Established nonprofit organizations working in education, the arts, conservation, or women/children’s health—preferably with an existing relationship or demonstrated fit to the foundation’s past grantees and a presence in Wisconsin or the foundation’s supported regions.
Good Fit
- • Existing or prior relationship with foundation staff, trustees, or current grantees
- • Work in education, performing arts, environmental/animal conservation, or women and children’s health
- • Organizational capacity to manage general operating or sizable single grants
- • Programs or presence in Wisconsin or in the foundation’s historically supported states
- • Track record of audited finances and formal nonprofit status (501(c)(3))
Geography
Recent grants were distributed across five states, but about two-thirds of the dollars in the latest year went to organizations in Wisconsin, indicating a regional but not strictly single-state footprint.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows ten distinct recipients, but all were returning grantees from the prior observed year and the top five recipients captured roughly 93% of dollars, signaling a narrow, repeat portfolio.
New Applicants
The foundation’s website and application page state unsolicited requests are not accepted, and the latest-year data show zero new recipients and 100% returning grantees, so new entrants are unlikely to break in without an introduction.
