Endres Manufacturing Company Foundation aims to contribute significantly to community services annually, with a focus on education, technology, business, environmental issues, the arts, and human services. Since 1996, they've dedicated over $2.5 million to various area non-profits, striving for balanced giving and meaningful collaborations with organizations and initiatives that impact their community and employees.
The EMC Foundation's grant program seeks to give impactful gifts with a focus on community priorities, promoting collaborative matches, and fostering the development of philanthropy. The foundation explicitly states it does not wish to be a sustaining donor, indicating a preference for grants that serve as seed money or support specific projects rather than continuous operational funding. The EMC Foundation awards grants ranging from $1,000 to $10,000, with exceptional projects receiving up to $75,000.
Preference is accorded to non-profit organizations that are linked to Endres Manufacturing Company, the community of Waunakee, or have associations with our employees and board members. We are inclined towards established programs that have demonstrated success, as well as innovative projects aimed at fulfilling existing gaps.
