Grants

We partner with the community to support the people and places advancing equity and economic well-being for everyone in Northeast Wisconsin.

The Basic Needs Giving Partnership invests in local and regional solutions that address the root causes of poverty. Our grants aim to support organizations providing services that are responsive to the current needs of our community and authentic collaborative initiatives that are working to disrupt the policies, practices, and systems that hold poverty in place.

Grant Opportunities

In 2024, over $3.5 million was invested into organizations across Northeast Wisconsin that are providing direct services and leading systems change efforts in the areas of early care and education, housing access, mental health, and substance use. Learn more about these grantee partners below.
