Keep these guidelines in mind:
- You must be a registered non-profit to request a grant.
- We generally give to agencies with less than a $4-5 M annual budget. We want to make a difference and have an impact, not be a small drop-in-the-bucket.
- We give to local needs, —-Waunakee-Madison-Dane County area. Not to out-of-state requests.
- We give to specific projects, programs, and new initiatives, not to general operation or annual budget.
- We favor proven programs with a successful track record, —or new, creative initiatives that will address unmet needs.
- We do NOT give to the same agency for multiple, successive years. We do NOT want to be a regular funding source, but rather diverse and impacting.
- At this time in our history, we are able to give grants in the range generally from $1,000 to $25,000 although we have given pledges for unique projects up to $100,000.
