Wisconsin Grantmaking Charities Making Grants of $25,000 - $100,000

These 44 organizations are based in Wisconsin and reported a median grant between $25,000 and $100,000 on their most recent Form 990 Schedule I filing. A typical grant is not a promise about any single gift -- some of an organization's grants are smaller than its median, some are larger -- but it is a reasonable signal for whether an application here fits the size of your ask.

A median grant this size is a substantial commitment for most organizations, so a detailed proposal is worth the extra time it takes -- and worth confirming the organization takes unsolicited requests at all before you start writing.

Ordered by number of organizations funded, not by dollars -- the same convention as every list on this site. Funding more organizations means more turnover in who gets a grant each year, which is a reasonable proxy for how often a list like this one changes -- it is not a signal that any specific organization is open to a new, unsolicited applicant.

Schedule I only reports grants over $5,000. Every median grant on this page describes the grants reported, not all of them, so the real typical grant is likely lower than shown. This is also why these figures cannot be compared to the private-foundation figures elsewhere on this site.
