About Greater Green Bay Community Foundation
Greater Green Bay Community Foundation Inc channels large-scale local grantmaking across Northeast Wisconsin, with a strong tilt toward community institutions that shape daily life in Brown County and nearby counties. Recent awards show support for arts organizations, animal welfare, education, health, housing, human services, and public benefit projects, alongside multi-year funding for nonprofits that serve residents facing basic-needs and stability challenges. Several of the largest grants point to that pattern. In 2023, Milwaukee Repertory Theater Inc received $2,500,000 for arts and culture program support, and New Zoological Society Inc in Suamico received $1,235,417 for animal welfare program support. In 2025, Brown County Sheriff's Department received $687,178 for public benefit and community improvement program support, while The Automobile Gallery Inc in Green Bay received $692,424 in 2024 for arts and culture program support. The foundation also appears in repeated support for organizations such as Basic Needs Giving Partnership, Family Services of Northeast Wisconsin, Bellin Health Foundation, and Greater Green Bay Habitat for Humanity, suggesting a mix of institutional support and longer-term community investments.

How Greater Green Bay Community Foundation Gives
Typical awards sit in a mid-sized range: the 25th percentile is $10,000, the median is $18,000, and the 75th percentile is $40,000. The recent-grants list also includes much larger institutional awards, so the foundation funds both smaller local projects and major commitments. Repeated grantees appear across multiple years, including Basic Needs Giving Partnership, Bellin Health Foundation, Family Services of Northeast Wisconsin, Greater Green Bay Habitat for Humanity, and St Norbert College. The foundation uses several structured programs, including project-based grants, capacity-building grants, annual or recurring distribution, and direct service funding. Multiple active programs accept unsolicited requests.
