Wisconsin's nonprofit sector in {current_year} is a major economic force, defined by a strong civic tradition and major hubs in Milwaukee and Madison. Nonprofits are focused on bridging urban-rural divides, addressing racial disparities in health and education, and supporting the state's workforce.

Funding in Wisconsin is robust and regional. Milwaukee and Madison each have their own set of key community foundations and influential private and corporate funders. The state is also home to significant health-conversion foundations. Funding is available for projects, operations, and community-development initiatives.

To secure nonprofit grants in Wisconsin, organizations should connect with the Wisconsin Nonprofit Association. The most effective strategy is to be a "regional specialist." A Milwaukee nonprofit must be fluent in the "racial equity" and "community development" frameworks of its local funders, which will differ from the "civic" and "educational" priorities in Madison.
