Ideal Applicant
A registered 501(c)(3) (or equivalent) focused on STEM education, disaster response, energy resilience, or local community programming—especially organizations in or near Generac communities in Wisconsin—seeking primarily small to mid-sized grants with occasional larger project support.
Good Fit
- • Programs in STEM education or youth robotics and camps.
- • Disaster response or emergency services initiatives.
- • Local community events, sponsorships, or civic projects in Wisconsin.
- • Clear 501(c)(3) status and ability to use an online portal application.
- • Requests sized in the small-to-mid range (hundreds to tens of thousands of dollars).
Geography
Observed giving reaches many states (grants recorded across about 21 states) but is heavily concentrated in Wisconsin, which received roughly 71% of dollars in the latest year.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows a large and diverse recipient set (215 distinct recipients in 2024 across schools, nonprofits, rescue and community groups), indicating broad institutional variety rather than a tiny closed circle.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of entry exists: 98 new recipients were funded in 2024 and the foundation publishes an online application portal and contact email, so unfamiliar applicants appear plausibly able to enter the portfolio.
