Big Dreamers United makes small, targeted grants to local nonprofits in Wisconsin, prioritizing promotional and outreach support rather than program delivery. Their recent giving supports arts, community food/green-space projects, and housing services, with all awards explicitly funding marketing and advertising to raise visibility and engagement. Grants are uniform in size and appear aimed at helping small organizations boost public awareness.
Four equal, modest unrestricted grants ($5,000 each) concentrated locally and focused on marketing/advertising; no evidence of repeat multi-year commitments—distributed across distinct small organizations rather than concentrated on a single flagship grantee.
