Support the preservation and sharing of Northeastern Wisconsin’s cultural and historic resources by funding educational programming, preserving historic buildings and collections, and fostering inclusive community engagement at Heritage Hill.
Heritage Hill Foundation Inc’s giving centers on Heritage Hill State Historical Park and the operating support that keeps the park and its programming running. In 2024, it gave $462,268 to Heritage Hill State Park for operations of the park and programming services, followed by $394,074 in 2025 to Heritage Hill Corporation for operating support. A 2023 grant of $360,208 to Heritage Hill State Park for operations of the park and IT programming services shows the same pattern across multiple years. The foundation’s work is tied to preserving and sharing Northeastern Wisconsin’s cultural and historic resources. Its stated priorities include historic preservation, education, museum support, community programs, and youth services. The active field-trip support program extends that mission by waiving admission for school groups identified by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction as 50% or more economically disadvantaged, with the goal of removing cost barriers to visits. Grants in the available record all go to Wisconsin recipients, and the foundation’s recent support is concentrated in Green Bay.
Historic preservation is a central theme in the foundation’s grantmaking. A 2024 grant of $462,268 to Heritage Hill State Park supported operations of the park and programming services, and a 2023 grant of $360,208 to the same recipient covered operations and IT programming services. Education appears through the field-trip program, which provides free student admission for school groups identified as 50% or more economically disadvantaged by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction. That program is aimed at reducing cost barriers to cultural and historical experiences. The foundation also supports museum and community functions through operating grants. In 2025, it gave $394,074 to Heritage Hill Corporation for operating support. Its listed focus areas also include community programs and youth services, aligning with park-based public programming, events, and recreational services.
Heritage Hill Foundation Inc gives at a high grant size relative to its total annual grant count, with a p25 of $385,723, a median of $411,238, and a p75 of $436,753. The recent record shows repeated support to the same connected institutions across 2023, 2024, and 2025, indicating recurring operating support rather than isolated project grants. The foundation is not listed as funding individuals and does not make program-related investments. An active program accepts unsolicited requests for free admission support for qualifying school groups.
