Schlecht Family Foundation Grants

The Schlecht Family Foundation Grants aim to support organizations that align with the values of Steve and Marianne Schlecht, focusing on meaningful work, education for life and work, and connections to nature. Eligible applicants include 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations or those with a fiscal sponsor that meets the criterion, serving the rural areas of north central Wisconsin. The Foundation offers four types of support: capacity building grants, seed grants, general operating grants, and impact investments. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, and decisions are generally made within one month of the application deadline.
