Grant Overview
Priority Outcomes for Wisconsin Public Charities
The Banking Institution's Grants for Public Charities in the Areas of Education, Environment, and Cultural Arts prioritize outcomes that align with Wisconsin's unique needs and opportunities. The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction and the Wisconsin Arts Board are key state agencies that support these areas. A distinguishing feature of Wisconsin is its rural landscape, with many frontier counties facing distinct challenges in accessing resources and services.
Education Outcomes
In education, priority outcomes include improved literacy rates among low-income students and increased access to STEM education in rural areas. The Wisconsin Fast Forward grant program, which focuses on workforce development and education, is a relevant example of the state's priorities. Grants that support evidence-based educational programs, such as those that have shown success in improving reading proficiency among elementary school students, are likely to be considered favorably. For instance, a nonprofit organization that provides literacy programs for low-income children in Milwaukee could be eligible for funding.
Environmental Outcomes
For environmental grants, the focus is on initiatives that protect and restore Wisconsin's natural resources, such as its lakes, rivers, and forests. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is a key partner in these efforts. Priority outcomes include reducing nutrient pollution in waterways and promoting sustainable forestry practices. Grants that support projects with measurable environmental outcomes, such as reducing carbon emissions or improving water quality, are likely to be prioritized. For example, a grant to support a wetland restoration project in the Mississippi River Basin could be considered.
Cultural Arts Outcomes
In the cultural arts, priority outcomes include promoting arts education and increasing access to arts programming in underserved communities. The Wisconsin Arts Board provides funding and support for arts initiatives across the state. Grants that support arts programs with clear objectives and outcomes, such as increasing arts participation among youth or promoting cultural heritage, are likely to be considered favorably. For instance, a nonprofit organization that provides arts programming for at-risk youth in Madison could be eligible for funding.
Applicants should be aware that the Banking Institution's grants are competitive, and funding decisions will be based on the likelihood of achieving the proposed outcomes. To increase their chances of success, applicants should demonstrate a clear understanding of the relevant priority outcomes and explain how their project will contribute to achieving them.
