Brown Family Foundation Inc
Cumberland, WI
The foundation’s 2023 grants supported general operations for a Wisconsin food bank and a Minnesota theatre, but most grant dollars went to a donor-advised fund to finalize its termination; it appears to have wound down. Recent grants ranged from $1,500 to $19,000 for charities, though the 2023 total was much larger because of the termination transfer; grants went to organizations in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Massachusetts. It funds only preselected organizations and does not accept unsolicited requests.
