Welcome! The Waunakee Community Foundation offers competitive grants to eligible nonprofit organizations and community initiatives serving the Waunakee School District area. Please review the eligibility criteria and application instructions before starting your request.

The goal of the Waunakee Community Foundation is to provide funding, and encourage and support projects that make a clear difference in the lives of area residents.

The Foundation favors projects that propose practical solutions to current community needs, promotes collaboration in addressing positive changes, and promotes volunteer involvement.

To be considered, your organization must:

• Serve the people of the Greater Waunakee Area with a preference given to organizations within the school district boundary.
• Operate on the principle that no discrimination shall be practiced as to race, religion, age, sex, mental or physical challenge.
•  Organizations must demonstrate nonprofit status (e.g., 501(c)(3) or fiscal sponsorship)
• Projects must serve the residents within the Waunakee School District boundary

After you've submitted your grant request, the Grants Committee will review your application and make a recommendation to the Board. Our Board will make a decision at the next Quarterly meeting (Feb, May, Aug, & Dec) and then let you know if it is approved or not. Decisions typically go out 2–4 weeks after the Board meeting.
