We are thrilled to share an overview of our 2025 grant cycles, continuing our commitment to investing in organizations and collaborations working toward thriving, equitable communities in Northeast Wisconsin.
Grant cycles this year will continue to focus in the areas of early care and education (birth to 5), housing access, mental health, and substance use.
Multi-Year Grant Cycle Opening March 3rd
This cycle will invest $3 million in flexible multi-year funding for current and emerging efforts that are collaborating to change policies, practices, and systems that hold poverty in place. We invite proposals that align with this purpose and focus on at least one of the priority areas above.
Grant Details:
Award Amount: Up to $300,000
Grant Duration: 3 years
To Apply: Eligible organizations should submit an Intent to Apply form between March 3rd and April 11th
Visit our website late next week to learn more about this cycle, read grant guidelines, and preview the application questions. The Intent to Apply form will open on March 3rd.
Single-Year Grant Cycle Coming Soon
We will announce details for our single-year grant opportunity later this spring. This cycle will invest approximately $1.5 million in grants to organizations providing critical direct services, leading systems change efforts, or both. Stay tuned for more details!
The Basic Needs Giving Partnership’s grantmaking is made possible by the generous contributions raised through the U.S. Venture Open, celebrating 40 years of giving in Northeast Wisconsin.
We look forward to working together to create meaningful change in 2025 and beyond.
With gratitude,
