Basic Needs Giving Partnership: Single-Year Grants

The Basic Needs Giving Partnership provides single-year grants to support organizations in Northeast Wisconsin that are addressing the root causes of poverty. Their focus is on collaborative initiatives in areas such as early care and education, housing access, mental health, and substance use. By partnering with local communities, they aim to foster equity and enhance economic well-being, while also disrupting systemic barriers that perpetuate poverty.

Through grantmaking, we fund organizations across a 10-county footprint in ways that not only meet current needs in our communities, but also actively work to disrupt the policies, practices, and systems that hold poverty in place.
In addition to grantmaking, we also co-create networks that can collectively problem solve, take action, and learn from each other.
Our grants aim to support organizations engaging in authentic collaborative initiatives that are working to disrupt the policies, practices, and systems that hold poverty in place.
