Ideal Applicant
A Wisconsin-based 501(c)(3), especially a primary/secondary school, school district, or local environmental organization with clear local impact in Sheboygan/Ozaukee counties and sound financial documentation.
Good Fit
- • Organization is based in Wisconsin (preferably in Sheboygan or Ozaukee counties).
- • Programs focus on K–12 education, scholarships, school facilities, or environmental stewardship.
- • Ability to provide required application documents (IRS letter, budgets, board list, audited financials or Form 990).
- • Willingness to consider matching grant structures or projects that attract additional local support.
- • Existing or demonstrated local relationships and a track record of prior funding or collaboration with area schools.
Geography
All observed grants across the three available years were made to organizations in Wisconsin, with an explicit preference for Sheboygan and Ozaukee counties and a 100% in-state share in each year.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded many distinct recipients across years (19 in 2022, 13 in 2023, 8 in 2024), mostly independent schools and local nonprofits; dollar concentration is high among top recipients but the recipient set is not tiny.
New Applicants
The foundation publishes an online application period and clear document requirements, and one new recipient appeared in the latest year, but giving is strongly weighted toward returning local schools and the top five recipients capture most dollars, so new entrants are possible but likely face competition.
