Ideal Applicant
An established charity or intermediary with an existing relationship or prior history with the trustee/administrator—typically hospitals, large health charities, or community foundations seeking general operating support.
Good Fit
- • Has an existing relationship or prior contact with the trustee, bank administrator, or a known intermediary.
- • Is a hospital or health charity of the type already funded.
- • Is a community foundation or intermediary able to receive donor-advised or pass-through grants.
- • Requests general operating support in the typical grant size range (roughly $4k–$15k).
Geography
In the latest year grants went to two states (Georgia and Oregon) and the bulk (about 71%) went to a single state; the foundation's giving is out-of-state relative to its Wisconsin domicile, showing a modest multi-state footprint rather than purely local focus.
Recipient Variety
The foundation consistently issues only two grants per year to two recipients in the latest filings, and filings show a very small recurring recipient set dominated by a single large grantee, indicating limited variety among beneficiaries.
New Applicants
The foundation explicitly declares it funds only preselected organizations and filings show low turnover (one repeat recipient observed across years and limited new recipients), and combined with the lack of public contact details this makes it unlikely an unfamiliar applicant can readily enter the portfolio.
