The Anthony P Brzezinski Foundation concentrates giving on small-town, faith-rooted and civic organizations in its Wisconsin community, providing sizable unrestricted donations that support parish life, local social services, and rural heritage activities. Grants appear targeted to maintain community institutions — especially Catholic parishes — and to sustain neighborhood clubs and volunteer-led cultural groups rather than funding specific programs or large institutions.
Concentrated, relatively few but large general-purpose grants to local organizations — primarily faith-based and community groups — favoring one-time or annual unrestricted support rather than program-specific or diversified national giving.
A $100,000 general donation to St Patric's Church in Mosinee is the largest recent grant on file for Anthony P Brzezinski Foundation Inc Anthony P Brzezinski Foundation Inc, and it fits a broader pattern of direct support for Catholic parishes, religious formation, and rural Wisconsin civic life. The foundation gives through general donations rather than narrowly designated project grants, with gifts that can reach six figures and often go to community institutions that anchor small towns. Recent awards also show support for a parish in Custer, a rectory in Wittenberg, and a seminary school in St. Paul, indicating that Catholic faith and vocations are central to its giving. Alongside church support, the foundation funds local volunteer organizations and community groups, including a rural community club in Mosinee and an antique tractor club in Rosholt, which points to interest in heritage and town-based civic activity. Its grant list also includes a pregnancy support center, showing that the foundation’s giving extends into family and life-related social services within the same local framework.
Catholic institutions make up a large share of the foundation’s recent giving. It awarded $60,000 to Sacred Heart Parish in Custer for general donation support, and $13,000 to St Joseph Catholic Church in Wittenberg for the same purpose. Faith formation also appears in a $32,500 grant to St Paul Seminary School in St Paul. Beyond parish life, the foundation supports crisis pregnancy work, including $50,000 to First Chice Pregnancy Center in Stevens Point. It also funds community and heritage groups, such as $60,000 to Halder Community Club in Mosinee and $50,000 to Glacier Ridge Antique Tractor Club in Rosholt. Those grants show a mix of religious, local civic, and rural heritage giving rather than a single program area.
Typical grants cluster in the tens of thousands: the p25 is $14,000, the median is $25,000, and the p75 is $42,718. That spread matches a pattern of meaningful one-time support rather than many small awards. The grant list also shows repeated support for some recipients across multiple years, including one parish and one civic heritage group. The foundation gives direct grants through a general grant program and accepts unsolicited submissions. Its structure and stated philosophy point toward unrestricted or general operating support, with awards made to 501(c)(3) organizations.
