ORGANIZATION ELIGIBILITY | To be nominated by a Woman’s Club of Wisconsin member for a Foundation, grant organizations must meet the following criteria:​​

• Be recognized as a tax-exempt charity under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code for a minimum of the past three years.

• Located in and provide services to the residents of Milwaukee, Waukesha, Ozaukee, Washington, and/or Racine counties, or be a recognized local chapter of a state or national charity serving this region.  All grant monies must be used to provide services to people who live in these geographic areas.

• Have an annual operating budget under $5,000,000.

• Proposals will not be considered for projects/organizations perceived to have purposes/practices which are political, discriminatory, and/or widely controversial.

• A proposal will not be considered from a religious organization or institution when a project’s impact would be chiefly and principally denominational, i.e., to further the beliefs and tenets of a particular religious denomination.

• Proposals will be favored which are not primarily financed by public tax funds.

• No organization shall receive grants beyond three consecutive years. An interim “wait period” of two years qualifies an organization for subsequent consideration. In addition, any organization which received grants in three of the last four years shall be ineligible for the current year.
