We are a permanent charitable endowment that helps individuals create permanent funds to support causes they care about in Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Waukesha, Washington counties and beyond. 

Specifically through our competitive grant cycles, we fund 501(c)(3) nonprofits that serve the four county metro area. We are particularly interested in exploring opportunities to partner with grantee agencies, advised fund donors and other funders on efforts to address the area’s most compelling needs.

We also have a number of supporting organizations and other funds, supporting different areas ranging from medical research to visual arts, which run their own individual grant processes throughout the year. Please visit the Other Grant Opportunities section for more information. 

Please note: An organization must have a profile on Foundant, our online grants management system, before they will be given access to any grant application. Please refer to our grant application process.
