Mission & Focus Areas
The organization’s stated mission is to invest in local and regional solutions that address the root causes of poverty. It funds organizations that respond to current community needs and work collaboratively to disrupt policies, practices, and systems that perpetuate poverty.
The website identifies broad areas of focus including nurturing networks of care, belonging and connection, and economic prosperity. Its 2025 multi-year guidelines name early care and education for children from birth to age five, housing access, mental health, and substance use as grant priorities. The guidelines describe support for collaborative systems-change projects and state a preference for applicants that apply an equity lens.
Grantee missions illustrate the range of organizations supported. We All Rise African American Resource Center describes its work as supporting the collective liberation of African Americans through a holistic, village-based approach that includes victim health and mental health services. Wisconsin Early Childhood Association says it advances comprehensive support for the early childhood workforce. Legal Action of Wisconsin describes providing legal representation for low-income people and advocating for empowerment and systemic change.
Grantmaking
In filing year 2024, the Partnership reported 72 grants totaling $5,399,585. Grant amounts ranged from $7,000 to $312,000, with a median of $50,000. The largest grants listed included $312,000 to We All Rise African American Resource Center; $300,000 each to Achieve Brown County, HeadsUp Fox Cities, Impact Wisconsin, New Hmong Professionals, People of Progression, and Wisconsin Early Childhood Association; and $225,000 each to the City of Waupaca and JOSHUA. The listed grants were for general operating support.
The Partnership’s 2025 multi-year cycle offered flexible funding of up to $300,000 for three years for collaborative systems-change projects. Its guidelines required an eligible nonprofit, governmental body, or fiscally sponsored organization; a project focused within its stated service area and on at least one listed priority; and work addressing root causes in collaboration with the community. The application deadline was April 11, 2025, so that cycle is past.
The website also describes a 2025 single-year cycle for planning and capacity-building grants and 2025 technical-assistance grants for short-term organizational support, including communications, financial management, technology, and strategic or operational planning. Those are past cycles. A 2026 single-year cycle announced grants of up to $75,000 for planning and capacity-building initiatives, with a June 12, 2026 deadline; that deadline has passed.
