Grants for Nonprofits in Wisconsin
Wisconsin has no central grants list, so the large grant-making departments are the places to look. The Department of Natural Resources lists its grant and reimbursement programs alphabetically and by category, and the Department of Health Services lists current solicitations by due date and also posts them on the Wisconsin Public Notices website.
GrantCue reads both, the Department of Justice's grant announcements and current opportunities, the Department of Administration's grants and the City of Milwaukee's funding programs. The Wisconsin Arts Board keeps a running list of funding opportunities and deadlines for artists and arts organizations, and community foundations make local grants around the state.
