Ideal Applicant
A small-to-midsize Wisconsin-based charity, church, library, or community organization seeking operational support and already known to local funders or recommended by existing grantees or intermediaries.
Good Fit
- • Located in Wisconsin (in-state applicant).
- • Requesting general/operational support rather than a first-time program pilot.
- • Existing relationship, referral, or prior interaction with the foundation or its grantees.
- • Organizational profile similar to prior recipients (churches, local library, community health or service organizations).
Geography
Observed giving is entirely within Wisconsin across the three reported years, with one state accounting for 100% of grant dollars and counts.
Recipient Variety
Each year the foundation funded six distinct recipients that appear to be independent charities, government entities, churches and a library, showing a moderate spread of beneficiaries even though dollars are concentrated among a few.
New Applicants
Directly observable turnover is limited: five of six recipients are repeat grantees across years and only one new recipient appeared in the latest year, and the foundation indicates it funds only preselected applicants, so unfamiliar organizations are unlikely to break in without a referral or relationship.
