Ideal Applicant
A small-to-midsize Wisconsin charitable organization (often faith-based or local community service provider) seeking modest operating or program support and able to submit a written application with proof of tax-exempt status.
Good Fit
- • Based in Wisconsin or serving Wisconsin communities.
- • Mission aligns with faith-based, education, health clinics, youth services, veterans, or local community assistance.
- • Request size in the small-to-moderate range (typical grants under $5K–$10K).
- • Can provide proof of 501(c)(3) status and a brief written application.
- • Has local reputation or prior local partnerships (matches many returning grantees).
Geography
Giving is heavily concentrated in Wisconsin (about 96% of dollars in the latest year) despite a few out-of-state grants; the foundation operates primarily as an in-state funder.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows a broad set of independent recipients (18 distinct grantees) across religious, education, health, veterans, and community services, with a mix of returning and new organizations.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of uptake by new entrants exists (seven new recipients in 2024) and the funder publishes written application instructions with a mailing address and phone, so unfamiliar applicants appear plausibly able to join the portfolio.
