INSPIRE and ENCOURAGE charitable giving in northeast Wisconsin by connecting caring people with solutions that strengthen our community
This grant program aims to support proposals that offer measurable strategies for enhancing economic stability and self-sufficiency among vulnerable populations. While all innovative proposals are welcome, the program prioritizes projects targeting housing stability, education and workforce development, and human services and basic needs that address the root causes of poverty. The grants are designed to support a range of needs including program or project support, equipment and technology upgrades, and continuous improvement efforts that boost organizational capacity or efficiency. Exceptionally, support for ongoing operations can be considered, especially in cases of significant changes in an organization’s capacity or structure, or where there's a notable collaboration involved.
