Best Community Development Grants in Wisconsin

The Mission Grant by the Dubuque Racing Association aims to enhance community well-being through support for non-profit organizations focused on population growth, retention, and tourism. Eligible applicants must be tax-exempt entities, with a preference for projects that involve capacity building. The grant does not fund endowments, political causes, or personal benefits. This initiative seeks to bolster the tri-state area, specifically targeting Dubuque and surrounding counties to promote local tourism and economic development.

Nonprofits, schools, and government agencies in Wisconsin and the broader 21-county Western Wisconsin, Southeast Minnesota, and Northeast Iowa region can apply for Gundersen Lutheran Medical Foundation’s Thriving Community Impact Fund Core Contribution Grants, awarding US $2,500 - US $49,999 for programs improving community health, poverty and economic stability, and neighborhood and built environments, including community development efforts.
