Ideal Applicant
Small-to-midsize community or faith-based nonprofits (food banks, churches, schools, youth programs) with projects aligned to local community needs, especially in Wisconsin or nearby Illinois.
Good Fit
- • Programs focused on community services, food security, youth education, or faith-based outreach.
- • A presence or partnership in Wisconsin (or nearby Illinois) where most dollars are concentrated.
- • Requests that match the foundation’s typical donation sizes (small to mid-level gifts).
- • Ability to secure an introduction or be noticed by the foundation (relationship or referral).
Geography
Grants in the latest year were made to organizations across seven states, but 80% of dollars were directed to Wisconsin, indicating multi-state activity with a strong regional/Wisconsin focus.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded 24 distinct recipients in the latest year with 19 being new that year, showing a broad and diverse recipient set despite dollar concentration in a few large awards.
New Applicants
Observed behavior shows many new recipients in the latest year (19 of 24), which suggests new entrants can be added, but the foundation’s stated 'preselected only' policy and absence of an open application process mean unsolicited applicants should not expect a straightforward application route.
