The Reiman Foundation Grant

The Reiman Foundation is a private philanthropic organization based in Pewaukee, Wisconsin. It was established as a family foundation and has since provided support to a wide variety of nonprofit organizations. The foundation’s mission is grounded in recognizing and uplifting the hard work, innovation, and service of organizations that serve others in need. While the Foundation's application process is designed to be simple and inclusive, the organization maintains a clear focus on a defined set of philanthropic priorities. The Reiman Foundation funds initiatives in four key areas: education, healthcare, the arts, and children’s programs. These focus areas guide the foundation’s giving strategy, though they may be refined over time to reflect evolving societal needs or new opportunities. Applicants whose projects fall within one or more of these areas are encouraged to apply. The foundation emphasizes that its funding capacity is limited, and not all applications—regardless of merit—can be supported. Grants from the Reiman Foundation can be used to support a wide range of programs and services within the focus areas. While there are no publicly listed minimum or maximum funding levels, applicants are advised to include a specific funding request and, if possible, a “wish list” detailing exact needs and associated dollar amounts. There is no mention of matching fund requirements, cost-sharing, or limitations on types of costs covered (e.g., administrative, capital, personnel), which suggests a relatively open spending policy within the scope of the project proposed. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis throughout the year, with no fixed deadlines. The foundation aims to process submissions quickly and efficiently. Applicants can expect confirmation of receipt via telephone, email, or postal mail, and decisions will be communicated in a timely manner. If a proposal does not align with the foundation’s funding priorities or guidelines, applicants will be notified accordingly. There is no formal application form; proposals should be submitted on the organization’s letterhead and must include specific details such as the application date, project description, rationale for seeking support, tax-exempt documentation, agency overview, population served, and contact information. To apply, organizations should send their application materials by mail or email. Submissions must be addressed to the Reiman Foundation at 125 West Wisconsin Avenue, Suite 200, Pewaukee, WI 53072, or sent electronically to reimanfoundation@hexagoninc.com. While no named contact is listed, this general contact information is designated for both applications and inquiries. Although the Reiman Foundation does not publish evaluation criteria, the information requested in the application implies that proposals will be assessed based on clarity, alignment with funding areas, community impact, and organizational capacity. The foundation does not provide information about award timelines, selection committees, or historical awardees. Nevertheless, the transparent and rolling nature of the process provides ongoing access to potential funding for aligned nonprofit efforts.
