Ideal Applicant
Local or regional nonprofits working on basic needs, education, scholarships or environment in communities where the company operates, especially in Wisconsin.
Good Fit
- • Located in Wisconsin or in a community where the company has operations
- • Programs addressing food security, education, youth services, or scholarships
- • Asking for a modest, project-specific award (many grants are under $5K)
- • Ability to demonstrate local impact or partnership with company associates
- • Willingness to use the foundation's online application and rolling submission
Geography
Grantmaking reaches organizations in over twenty states, but about 85% of dollars are concentrated in Wisconsin, indicating a primarily in-state focus with some out-of-state awards.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows a very broad recipient set (126 grants to 122 distinct organizations) across many purpose areas, with a large number of small awards alongside a few larger commitments.
New Applicants
Observed behavior shows many new grantees in the latest year (about 86 new recipients) and the foundation publishes an online application and contact info; filings also mention preselection, so selection appears relationship-informed but entry by unfamiliar applicants has demonstrable precedent.
