Funding pattern

What this funder pays for, at what size, and how to position adjacent work. Read from their filings, with every number checked against the record.

Where the money goes

Rural hospitals and clinics in western Wisconsin, often capital
Food banks, food shelves, and basic-needs pantries
Youth development and scouting, led by Northern Star Council
Homelessness, emergency shelter, and affordable housing
Domestic violence, mental health, and addiction recovery services
Libraries, museums, and environmental learning centers

Typical grant

Median grant is $50,000 and the middle half runs $25,000 to $130,000, so most of the portfolio is modest operating money to established local nonprofits. The seven-figure checks go to capital campaigns and multi-year commitments at anchor institutions: Northern Star Council at $7.7M, Mayo Clinic at $6M capital, St Croix Valley Food Bank at $4.5M. With 1,053 grants to 570 recipients over four years, most grantees appear more than once, and the same St. Croix Valley names recur annually.

Their words

Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.

“GENERAL OPERATING”
“CAPITAL CAMPAIGN”
“PROGRAM OR PROJECT”
“CAPITAL SUPPORT”

Positioning adjacent work

Anchor the ask in St. Croix Valley service delivery: Washington County MN, or St Croix, Pierce, Polk counties WI.
Ask $25,000 to $130,000 for a first approach; reserve seven-figure capital asks for existing relationships.
Frame the request as general operating support for direct services, not as a research project or study.
Connect to a funded theme: food access, rural health access, shelter and housing, or youth programming.

Worth knowing: This is a deeply place-based funder. Minnesota and Wisconsin take 956 of 1,053 grants, with the St. Croix Valley corridor around Bayport, Hudson, River Falls, and New Richmond receiving the densest and largest giving. The out-of-state money is a narrow, repeating set of homelessness and housing grantees in Phoenix and Dallas, which reads as relationship-driven rather than an open geography, and university and research recipients are rare outside Mayo Clinic capital and UW-River Falls.
