Summary
This regional grant opportunity provides funding to support a variety of local efforts that aim to improve community well-being. Available to groups serving a small, rural part of the Midwest, the grant is offered twice each year. Funding awards are modest, generally up to a few thousand dollars per cycle, and applicants are encouraged to apply only once within a given year.
The grant is designed to be flexible, allowing for support of either day-to-day operations or special projects that align with the broader goal of strengthening the community. Funding may be used for work that promotes local development, education, environmental care, youth involvement, public wellness, cultural activities, or the delivery of basic human needs. Both long-standing organizations and new initiatives are welcome to apply, as long as they demonstrate a clear connection to the region and a strong community benefit.
Eligibility is broad, encompassing a range of nonprofit organizations, public entities, and community-based groups. Those without formal nonprofit status may also qualify if they work through a sponsoring organization. The process is intended to be accessible and to uplift those already doing valuable work in the area.
This grant has previously helped support projects such as facility improvements, educational opportunities, local arts and culture, community safety, and public services. While the awards are not large, they are meant to make a meaningful difference to grassroots efforts and ongoing local programs.
Overall, this funding opportunity exists to encourage positive change at the local level—supporting those who are committed to enhancing life in smaller communities through thoughtful, community-driven initiatives. It serves as a valuable resource for organizations dedicated to making a lasting impact in the places they call home.
Those working in Arts, Culture, History & Humanities and located in Wisconsin may meet the eligibility criteria for this grant. To browse other funding opportunities suited to your focus areas, visit The Grant Portal and try the Search Grant tool.
