We are excited to announce the recipients of the Basic Needs Giving Partnership’s 2026 technical assistance and single-year grant awards!

Through these two rounds of grants, $1.8 million has been invested. This includes more than $1 million in single-year grants to 18 organizations and $750,050 in technical assistance grants to 47 nonprofits. This funding will help support organizations advance their work in addressing the root causes of poverty across Northeast Wisconsin.

The grants are part of the Basic Needs Giving Partnership’s commitment to advancing equity and economic well-being across a ten-county region. Funding is generated by the annual U.S. Venture Open with the 2026 event raising $5.4 million.
