The Jane & Arthur Stangel Fund is a locally focused Manitowoc fund that concentrates on basic-needs human services, faith-based institutions, and youth-related programs. They regularly support emergency shelters, domestic violence and family services, food pantries and hunger relief, as well as Catholic schools and local cultural organizations. Grants are typically mid-size and often repeated across multiple years to the same community organizations, signaling stable, relationship-driven local philanthropy.
Jane & Arthur Stangel Fund Inc stands out for repeated support to Manitowoc County emergency shelter and domestic-violence services. Across the recent grants list, that pattern appears through gifts to Incourage (Domestic Violence Center), Hope House, The Haven of Manitowoc County, and The Crossings of Manitowoc County, often at $10,000. The fund also backs basic-needs organizations such as The Salvation Army and Peter's Pantry, alongside local education and youth-serving institutions. The foundation's giving reads as steady and relationship-based rather than transactional. Several recipients appear in multiple years, including Ascend Services, Hope House, Incourage, The Salvation Army, The Crossings of Manitowoc County, and The Haven of Manitowoc County. That repetition suggests ongoing support for organizations embedded in Manitowoc’s human-services network. In addition to social services, the fund has supported Roncalli High School and Roncalli Catholic Schools, plus community-facing groups like Manitowoc-Two Rivers YMCA, Make-A-Wish Foundation, Grow It Forward, and Lakeshore Humane Society Inc. The legal name, JANE & ARTHUR STANGEL FUND INC, and the local scope point to a funder with a narrow geographic lens and a broad mix of community needs within that area.
In domestic violence and family crisis services, the fund gave $10,000 to Incourage (Domestic Violence Center) in 2025 and also supported Hope House and The Haven of Manitowoc County in multiple years. Those grants align with a clear emphasis on emergency shelter and safety-net services. Food security is another recurring area. The fund supported Peter's Pantry with $8,000 in 2024, plus Grow It Forward and Feeding American - Eastern WI in Manitowoc and Appleton. These grants sit alongside broader charitable support for organizations serving immediate needs. Education shows up through named support for Roncalli High School and Roncalli Catholic Schools, while youth and family programming appears in grants to Manitowoc-Two Rivers YMCA, Make-A-Wish Foundation, and Lakeshore Humane Society Inc. The mix suggests a local portfolio that includes schools, recreation, and family-oriented charitable work.
Typical grants cluster in the mid-size range, with a p25 of $2,375, median of $5,000, and p75 of $10,000. The recent list shows frequent repeat awards over multiple years, including several organizations that received funding in 2023, 2024, and 2025. That pattern points to ongoing support rather than one-time project gifts. The fund does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. The available data describes the scope as local, with charitable grants concentrated in Wisconsin.
