Summary
This funding opportunity offers multiple grant streams to support charitable initiatives across a rural county region. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations and public charities—including schools, religious institutions, and government entities—that serve the local population. Educators working with students in grades 3 through 8 may also qualify through a distinct mini-grant category.
One primary stream provides community grants for projects in areas such as arts and culture, education, environment and animal welfare, health and human services, and community development. These awards are intended to support one-time, mission-aligned programs that strengthen the capacity of local organizations and bring meaningful benefits to residents. Another stream offers mini-grants specifically for educators in grades 3 through 8 to fund innovative or service-learning classroom activities.
A third opportunity provides membership-based giving circle grants in which donors pool contributions and vote to select local nonprofit recipients. In past cycles, a separate program was available to address community-wide crises, though that cycle is currently paused pending future needs. Additionally, a summer grant cycle is offered annually to expand support for nonprofits and community groups, administered through the foundation’s online portal.
Application processes for these opportunities rely on an online system for all submissions, often launching in late summer and closing in early autumn. Eligibility generally requires that projects benefit the county’s residents and demonstrate volunteer engagement, sustainability, collaboration, and responsiveness to local needs. Fund use should be project-specific, one-year in scope, and aligned with community enrichment. While smaller awards support classroom innovation, larger ones back broader community programs, with an emphasis on local impact and inclusivity.
Those working in Non-Profit Support Services 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.
