Ideal Applicant
Small community nonprofits in the Upper Midwest (especially Wisconsin) focused on local history, veterans, scouting, education or community service and seeking modest, program-specific grants.
Good Fit
- • Local or regional presence in Wisconsin or nearby Minnesota/Illinois.
- • Clear alignment with historical preservation, veterans' services, scouting, local education, or community service programs.
- • Requests for modest, one-time program grants rather than large multi-year operating support.
- • Existing local credibility or a relationship/intro to the trustee or local network.
Geography
Giving is regionally concentrated: the foundation primarily funds Wisconsin but also made grants in Minnesota and Illinois in the latest year, with roughly 69% of dollars staying in one state.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows six distinct independent recipients and high rates of new grantees (five new in 2024), indicating a moderate spread of beneficiaries for a micro private foundation despite dollar concentration in a single large grant.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of an open application process is lacking and the foundation states it funds only preselected applicants, yet observed behavior across three years shows frequent new grantees, so new entrants are sometimes funded even though there is no clear public application route.
